Question 597203: . Palmer’s average running speed is 3 kilometers per hour faster than his walking speed. If Palmer can run around a 30-kilometer course in 2 h, how many hours would it take for Palmer to walk the same course? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Palmer’s average running speed is 3 kilometers per hour faster than his walking speed. If Palmer can run around a 30-kilometer course in 2 h, how many hours would it take for Palmer to walk the same course?
--------
Walking DATA:
rate = x km/h
-------------------
Run DATA:
rate = (x+3) km/h
----
Equation:
d = rt
30 km = 2(x+3)
x+3 = 15 km/hr (running rate)
x = 12 km/hr (walking speed)
----------------
? answered
d = rt
15 = 12*t
time = 5/4 = 1 1/4 hrs. (time to walk the course).
----------------
Cheers,
Stan H.
