Question

HEYOO PEEPS 1. Ethan Rides his bike up a 20km hill in 2hrs. Ethan rides his bike down the 20km hill in .5 hrs. What is Ethan’s average speed?

Answer 1

let Leo's speed = x mile/hr

so Ethan speed = (x + 6) miles per hour

Distance = Speed × Time

so distance traveled by Leo in 2 hours = x × 2 = 2x

and distance traveled by Ethan in 1.5 hours = 1.5( x + 6 ) = 1.5x + 9

since they meet on the path , After Ethan has ridden 1.5 hours and Leo has ridden 2 hours , so together the have traveled on complete path that is 65 miles.

⇒ distance traveled by leo in 2 hours + distance traveled by Ethan in 1.5 hours = 65

⇒ 2x + 1.5x + 9 = 65

⇒ 3.5x = 56

⇒ x = 16

Hence Leo's speed = x miles/hr = 16 miles/hour

and Ethan's speed = (x + 6) miles/hr = 16 +6 = 22 mile/hour
