Answer:


T=16.58888889hours \approx 16.47hours

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Guy ran 3/4 of Avis's distance

Guy ran 2/4 of Avis's speed

Guy ran
D=112miles

Guy ran at
6miles/hour

Let Avis's distance be x

Let Avis's velocity be V'

Generally the Distance and Velocity of Aviv is mathematically Given by


3/4x=112\\x=149.3333miles

and


2/3V'=6mile/h\\V'=9mile/h

Generally the time Aviv ran is mathematically Given by


T=(149.3miles)/(9mile/h)


T=16.58888889hours \approx 16.47hours
