a) A man walked for some distance at 8km/h, and fro an equaldistance at 5km/h . The total time he took was 3 1/4 hours. Findthe total distance walked.using distance=rate x time the distances are equal
x=time walking 8km/h
3 1 4 -x time walking 5 km/h
8x=(3 1 4 -x)5
multiply
8x= 16 1 4 -5x
add 5x to each side
13x=16 1 4
divide each side by 13
x=1 1 4
3 1 4 - x = 2
8x 1 1 4 + 5 x 2 = distance walked
10+10
walked 20 km
b) A cyclist goes from one village to another at 28 km/h.He returns at 24 km/h. IF the return journey takes two hourslonger than the outward journey, what is the distance between thevillage?
D=r x t
x = time going
x+2 = return time
28x=24(x+2)
28x=24x+48
4x=48
x=12
distance = 28x12=336 miles
