I am not sure why but it is causing me grief: "John walked 10 miles on Saturday. He walked twice as fast on the second 5 miles of his walk than he walked on the first 5 miles of his walk. Which expression represents the time he spent walking? Let x = John's speed on the first half of his walk."

Answer:

The total time spent in walking is [tex]\frac {15}{2x}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed is defined as the rate of change f distance or the ratio of the distance covered to the time taken.

Total distance covered by John = 10 miles

Let he walked with speed x for the first 5 miles and then he walked with speed 2 x for the second 5 miles.

Let the time spent for the first 5 miles is t' and for the second 5 miles is t''.

So,

[tex]t'=\frac{5}{x}\\\\t''=\frac{5}{2x}[/tex]

The total time spent in walking is

[tex]t = t'+ t''=\frac{5}{x}+\frac{5}{2x}\\\\t =\frac {15}{2x}[/tex]
