Question 1080037: Adrian is going to ride his bicycle to Cassie's house which is 6.5 miles away. After Adrian rode his bike for 45 minutes he had a mechanical problem. He then continued to walk to Cassie's house for 15 more minutes. If Adrian rode his bike 4 times faster than he walked, then how far did he ride his bike, and how far did he walk?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! speed on bike is x mph
distance is x*t, where t is in hours
0.75x+0.25x*0.25=6.5
0.75x+0.0625x=6.5
0.8125 x= 6.5
x=8 mph bike for 3/4 hour=6 miles
walking at 2 mph for 1/4 hr=0.5 miles
total is 6.5 miles
