Question

How bad is the heavy traffic? You can walk 14
miles in the same time that it takes to travel
35 miles by car. If the car's rate is 6 miles per
hour laster than your walking rate find the
average rate of each.

Answer 1

Answer:

I walk at a rate of 4 miles per hour, while the car travels at 10 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I can walk 14 miles in the same time that it takes to travel 35 miles by car, if the car's rate is 6 miles per hour faster than my walking rate, to find the average rate of each the following calculation must be performed:

35 - 14 = 21

21/6 = 3.5

35 / 3.5 = 10

14 / 3.5 = 4

So, I walk at a rate of 4 miles per hour, while the car travels at 10 miles per hour.
