Account for rate, time, and distances for the walking and the biking. Stay with units as miles or minutes.

__________________speed______________time_________distance
BIKE__________________________________________4+4=8
WALK_____________6/102=1%2F17____102__________6

The total number of miles combined biking and walking is easily found from the given data: 8 miles biking and 6 miles walking. They were basically given. Their total combined is 8+6=14 miles.

The later described condition, "if you walk for 68 minutes" is in contradiction to the earlier given information; unless this was meant for making a prediction.
