Question 1072428: 1.Katie can bicycle 104 miles in the same time as it takes her to walk 24 miles. She can ride 10 mph faster than she can walk. How fast can she walk?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be Katie's walking speed. Then her biking speed would be n+10. So:
104/(n+10)=24/n
24n+240=104n
80n=240
n=3 mph as Katie's walking speed; and 13 mph as her biking speed. ☺☺☺☺
