Question

A boy walks to a picnic spot from his house in 6 hours. But he can travel the same distance on his cycle in 2 hours. If is average cycling speed is 7 km per hour faster than his average walking speed, find his average walking speed and his average cycling speed (using two variables).​

Answer 1

Answer:

A boy walks to a picnic spot from his house in = 6 hours

He can travel the same distance on his cycle in = 2 hours

Average cycling speed is 7 km per hour faster than his average walking speed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the average walking speed be x km

Therefore the average cycling speed is = 7x km

According to the question,

x/6 = 7x

Or,x/6 = x

Or,x = 6x

Or,x/x = 6

Therefore
