Jim began a 192​-mile bicycle trip to build up stamina for a triathlete competition.​
\n" ); document.write( " Unfortunately, his bicycle chain​ broke, so he finished the trip walking.
\n" ); document.write( " The whole trip took 6 hours.
\n" ); document.write( " If Jim walks at a rate of 5 miles per hour and rides at 41 miles per​ hour, find the amount of time he spent on the bicycle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let b = time on the bike
\n" ); document.write( "whole trip was 6 hrs, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(6-b) = time walking
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "write a dist equation, dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "bike dist + walk dist = 192 mi
\n" ); document.write( "41b + 5(6-b) = 192
\n" ); document.write( "41b + 30 - 5b = 192
\n" ); document.write( "41b - 5b = 192 - 30
\n" ); document.write( "36b = 162
\n" ); document.write( "b = 4.5 hrs on the bike
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, find time walking: 6 - 4.5 = 1.5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "find the sum of the distance
\n" ); document.write( "41 * 4.5 = 184.5 mi
\n" ); document.write( "5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mi
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "total dist: 192 \n" ); document.write( "
