Question 588664: A man walks down the road for half an hour at an average speed of 3 kph. He waits 10 minutes for the tricycle, which brings him back to his starting point at 7:15.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length of the road is km
He started at 6:25
6:25 + 30 min = 6:55
He waits 10 min
6:55 + 10 min = 7:05
He is back at his starting point at 7:15
7:15 - 7:05 is 10 min
So, on the tricycle he covered km
