Question

Rico can walk 3 miles in the same amount of time that Donna can walk 2 miles. Rico walks at a rate 2 miles per hour faster than Donna. At that rate, what is the number of miles that Rico walks in 2 hours and 10 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

$13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Donna's Rate is $R$

Rico's Rate is $R+2$

$\frac{R}{R+2}=\frac{2}{3}$

Cross-Multiply

$2(R+2)=32$

$2R+4=3R$

$4=R$

Donna's Rate is $R=4$

Rico's Rate is $R+2=6$

$\frac{6(130)}{60} = \frac{130}{10}=13$
