Question

If a person walks at 14 km/hr instead of 10 km/hr ,he would have walked 20 km more.The actual distance traveled by him is ??

Answer 1

Answer:

If he were travelling at 10 km/h he would have traveled 50 km, as he traveled for 5 hours. If he traveled at 14 km/h, that would make it 70 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in speed is 4 km/h(14–10). The difference in distance traveled is 20 km(given). Difference in speed multiplied by total time traveled must equal difference in total distance traveled. So, 4 km/h * X hours = 20 km. Divide both sides by 4 to get X = 5. So, 5 hours of travel. Multiply that by either speed to get the respective total distances(50 km and 70 km). Checking, we can see that 70 km is indeed 20 km more than 50 km.
