You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a man runs for an hour and a half at 8 miles an hour due south;
and then he continues south on a bus traveling at 55 miles an hour, for 24 minutes.
How far did he travel?
:
change 24 min to hrs: 24/60 = .4
:
total dist = Walking dist + riding dist
d = 1.5(8) + .4(55)
d = 12 + 22
d = 34 mi
