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
