Question

If a person walks at 12 kmph he covers a certain distance. If he walks at 17 kmph, he covers 8.5 km more. How much distance did he actually cover?

Answer 1

Answer:20.4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original time be x.

8.5=5*x

x=8.5/5

x=1.7 hour

Original distance=12*1.7

=20.4 km.
