Kay rode his bike from his home to Daniels and walked back home.
The total travel time was 45 minutes.
If Kay average 20 mph on the bike and 4 mph walking, how far does Daniel live from Kay.
---------------------------------------
Bike DATA:
rate = 20 mph ; distance = x miles ; time = d/r = x/20 hrs.
------------------------
Walking DATA:
rate = 4 mph ; distance = x miles ; time = d/r = x/4 hrs.
------------------------
Equation:
time + time = 3/4 hr.
x/20 + x/4 = 3/4
x + 5x = 15
6x = 15
x = 5/2 = 2.5 miles (distance from Kay's house to Daniel's)
