Question 1095829: On an uphill hike, Ted climbs at a rate of 3 miles an hour. Going down, he runs at a rate of 5 miles an hour. If it takes him 40 minutes longer to climb up than run down, what is the total length of Ted's hike? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Same problem, different numbers.
================================
A person climbs to the top of a mountain at the rate of 1.5 km/h and down the same way at a rate of 4.5 km/h. If he is gone for 6 hours, how far did he travel from camp to the top of the mountain?
----------
Avg speed of the round trip = 2*1.5*4.5/(1.5+4.5) = 13.5/6 = 2.5 km/hr
---
2.5*6 = 15 km round trip
--> 7.5 km each way
