I walked for 28 hours
4 mph there
3 mph back
how many miles did I walk
==============================
Let d = the one-way distance
Since time = distance/speed, we can write the following expression for the total time:
28 = d/4 + d/3
Solve for d:
28 = (3d + 4d)/12
7d = 336
d = 48 mi
So the total distance walked = 96 mi
