Question 1046161: Tyler started biking to the library traveling 12 mph, after some time the bike got a flat so Tyler walked the rest of the way, traveling 2 mph. If the total trip to the library took 9 hours and it was 58 miles away, how long did Tyler travel at each speed?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let b be the time spent bicycling, and w be the time spent walking. Then:
b+n=9
12b+2n=58
12b+2n=58
2b+2n=18
10b=40
b=4
w=5
Tyler spent 4 hours bicycling, and 5 hours walking. ☺☺☺☺
