Adrian ran from his house to the park at a speed of 5 meters per second. He ran back from the park to his house at a speed of 6 meters per second. The total time taken to run the whole journey was 22 minutes. How many minutes did he take to run from his house to the park

Respuesta :

Answer:time taken to run from his house to the park is 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance between his house and the park.

The speed at which Adrian ran from his house to the park is 5 meters per second.

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance/speed

Therefore, time taken to run from his house to the park would be

Time = x/5

The speed at which he ran back from the park to his house is 6 meters per second.

Time taken to run back from the park to his house would be

Time = x/6

The total time taken to run the whole journey was 22 minutes. Converting to seconds, it becomes 22× 60 = 1320 seconds. Therefore,

x/5 + x/6 = 1320

Multiplying through by 30, it becomes

6x + 5x = 39600

11x = 39600

x = 39600/11 = 3600 meters

Therefore, time taken to run from his house to the park would be

x/5 = 3600/5 = 720 seconds

Converting to minutes, it becomes

720/60 = 12 minutes

The time taken from Adrian's house to the park is 12 minutes.

Speed, distance, and Time

We know that sped, distance, and time all are in a relationship to each other. this relationship can be given as,

[tex]\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Given to us,

  • Adrian speed from his house to the park = 5 meters/speed,
  • Adrian speed from the park to his house = 6 meters/speed,
  • The total time is taken to run the whole journey = 22 minutes,

Distance

As we know that the distance from Adrian's house to the park and the distance from the park to Adrian's house will be the same.

Time

Let the time needed to travel from the house to the park be x, then the time needed to travel from the park to the house be (22-x).

Therefore,

Distance from Adrian's house to the park

                                                 = distance from the park to Adrian's house

[tex]5 \times x = 6 \times (22-x)\\5x = 132 - 6x\\5x + 6x = 132\\11x = 132\\x = \dfrac{132}{11}\\x = 12\ minutes[/tex]

Hence, the time taken from Adrian's house to the park is 12 minutes.
