You can put this solution on YOUR website! Carlos walks around the track 10 times at a rate of x laps per hour.
He runs around the track 8 times at a rate of 3x laps per hour.
Write and solve an expression for the time it takes him to go 18 times around the track.
:
Write a time equation; time = dist/speed
:
Walk time + run time = total time + =
find the common denominator (3x) = time to go around 18 times
