Greg trained for a triathlon for 9 hours yesterday. He ran 9 miles and then biked 135 miles. His biking speed is 12 mph faster than his running speed. What is his running speed?

Respuesta :

The running speed is 2 mi/hr

Using the formula for calculating his speed;

Speed = distance/time

Let his running speed be "s"

If his biking speed is 12 mph faster than his running speed, then biking speed is s + 12

If he ran 9 miles and biked for 135 miles, then the required speed will be expressed as:

s + 12+s = 135/9 + 9/9

2s + 12 = 144/9

2s + 12 = 16

2s = 16 - 12

2s = 4

s = 4/2

s = 2

Hence the running speed is 2 mi/hr
