Answer:
Times
first part x = 1,33 h second part y = 0,66 h
distances d₁ (first part ) d₁ = 4 miles d₂ (second part ) d₂ = 0,999 miles
Step-by-step explanation: IMPORTANT NOTE: EVEN PROBLEM STATEMENT DID NOT ASK ANY QUESTION WE WILL ASSUME QUESTION ARE: LENGTH ( IN MILES ) AND SPENT TIME OF EACH PART OF THE HIKE
We formulate a two-equation system according to:
x = time for the first part
y = time for the second part
then x + y = 2 or y = 2 - x
And 3 m/h * x(h) + 1,5 m/h * y (h) = 5
3*x + 1,5*y = 5
3*x + 1,5 * ( 2 - x ) = 5
3*x + 3 - 1,5*x = 5
1,5*x = 2
x = 2/1,5 (h)
x = 1,33 (h)
And y = 2 - 1,33 y = 0,66 (h)
Distances are
first part d₁ = 3*1,33 d₁ = 4 miles
second part d₂ = 1,5*0,66 d₂ = 0,999 miles
