A man walks for 2 hours at a certain speed. He then cycles at three times that speed for 4 hours. He goes 77 km altogether. Find the speed at which he walks.

Respuesta :

The speed at which he walks is 7.7km/hr

The formula for calculating the distance is expressed as;

distance = speed * time

Let the speed moved by the man be x

If the  man walks for 2 hours at a certain speed, his distance will be 2x km

If he then cycles at three times that speed for 4 hours, the new the speed at which he walks is 7.7km/hr

If he goes 77km altogether, hence;

2x + 4(2x) = 77

2x + 8x = 77

10x = 77

x = 77/10

x =7.7km/hr

Hence the speed at which he walks is 7.7km/hr
