Problem
Every morning Aya goes for a 
-kilometer-long walk and stops at a coffee shop afterwards. When she walks at a constant speed of 
kilometers per hour, the walk takes her 4 hours, including 
minutes spent in the coffee shop. When she walks 
kilometers per hour, the walk takes her 2 hours and 24 minutes, including minutes spent in the coffee shop. Suppose Aya walks at 
kilometers per hour. Find the number of minutes the walk takes her, including the minutes spent in the coffee shop.
Solution 1
in hours and 
in hours.
Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get,
Multiplying by 
, we get
