Question

Carter walked for a while at three miles per hour, and then continued his journey on a bus travelling at 15 miles per hour. his time on the bus was twice as long as his time walking. how long did he ride on the bus if the total distance he covered was 66 miles? let t equal the time he walked (hours).

Answer 1

Answer: He rode on the bus for 3 hours

Explanation:

1. We add 15 miles and 3 miles to get 18 miles.

2. Then 66/18 is 3.6666

3. Convert to whole number

Then 15x3 is 45

66-45 is 21

21/3=7

so he walked for 7 hours and rode the bus for 3 hours
