Question

Tim and Mia have 8 hours to spend on a mountain hike. They can walk up the trail at an average of 2mph and can walk down at an average of 3mph. How long should they plan to hike uphill before turning around 

Answer 1

d = r · t

dup = 2t

d_down = 3(8 - t)

The distances are equal

2t = 3(8 - t)

 

Can you solve for t and answer?'
