SOLUTION: Suppose a bike rider climbs a mountain at 10km/hr and decends the mountain at 50km/hr. Find the distance traveled if he were on the mountain for 3hrs.
So I get that distance = r

Question 672925: Suppose a bike rider climbs a mountain at 10km/hr and decends the mountain at 50km/hr. Find the distance traveled if he were on the mountain for 3hrs.
So I get that distance = rate * time. I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to set up this equation to find the answer which I know is 50km. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose a bike rider climbs a mountain at 10km/hr and decends the mountain at 50km/hr. Find the distance traveled if he were on the mountain for 3hrs.
--------
d = r*t
t = d/r
d = one-way distance
-----
d/10 + d/50 = 3
5d + d = 150
d = 25 km each way
