Question 898553: Some hotels in Las Vegas use moving sidewalks to transport guests between various destinations. Suppose a hotel guest decides to get on a moving sidewalk that is 195 ft long. If the guest walks at a rate of 4 ft/s and the moving sidewalk moves at a rate of 8 ft/s, how many seconds will it take the guest to walk from one end of the moving sidewalk to the other? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sidewalk is 195' long.
The guest moves at 4'+8' per second, or 12'/sec. (That's mighty fast.)
195' / 12' = 16.25 seconds
