Question 1194181
.
Phil leaves Northampton and walks north for an hour and a half. Don leaves Northampton
at the same time and rides his bicycle south at a rate of 10 mph. Phil stops walking and
Don continues to bike for another half an hour. At the end of the excursion, they find
themselves 26 miles apart. What is Phil's rate?
~~~~~~~~~~~~



Don biked two hours and covered  2*10 = 20  miles south.


Hence,  Phil moved  26-20 = 6  miles north.


Phil spent &nbsp;1.5 &nbsp;hours, hence Phil' rate was  &nbsp;{{{6/1.5}}} = 4 &nbsp;miles per hour. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   <U>ANSWER</U>
