<PRE><B>Question 1056889</B>
Marcos is training for a bike race that will take place next month. 
On Saturday he rode his bike 225 miles in a practice race at an average speed of 29 miles per hour, 
and he averaged 20 miles per hour for the remaining part of the race. 
-----------
If it took Marcos 9 hours to finish the practice race, how much time did he spend riding at a rate of 29 miles per hour?
----------------
1st leg DATA:
dist = 225 miles ; rate = 29 mph ; time = 7.76 hrs
------
Ans:: 7.76 hrs = 7 hrs 45 min 36 sec
