Question

The average rate of the first part of Yi’s walk on a park loop was 4 miles per hour. She then met up with a friend and the two walked the rest of the way at an average rate of 5 miles per hour. The entire 3-mile walk took Yi 42 minutes (0.7 hour). Which equation can be used to solve for x, the time in hours that Yi spent walking before meeting her friend?

Answer:

The average rate of the first part of Yi’s walk on a park loop was 4 miles per hour. She then met up with a friend and the two walked the rest of the way at an average rate of 5 miles per hour. The entire 3-mile walk took Yi 42 minutes (0.7 hour). Which equation can be used to solve for x, the time in hours that Yi spent walking before meeting her friend?

A table showing Rate in mile per hour, Time in hours, and Distance in miles. The first row shows Part 1 and has 4, x, and 4 x. The second row shows Part 2, and has, 5, 0.7 minus x, and 5 left-parenthesis 0.7 minus x right-parenthesis.

x = 0.7 – x

x + (0.7 – x) = 1

4x + 5(0.7 – x) = 1

4x + 5(0.7 – x) = 3

Answer 2

Answer: simultaneous equation and speed formula lead to:

X = 0.7 - (3 - 4x)/5
