Diego cycles around a bike path in two parts.
Part 1: 8.6 km in 28 minutes
Part 2: 11.4 km in 34 minutes
He rests between both parts.
If Diego travels at an average speed without stopping, he finishes in an hour and a quarter.
For how long does he rest?
To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:
- Step 1: Calculate the time taken for Part 1 of the bike path.
- Step 2: Calculate the time taken for Part 2 of the bike path.
- Step 3: Sum the times from Steps 1 and 2 to get the total cycling time.
- Step 4: Subtract this total cycling time from the overall given time to find Diego's rest time.
Let's calculate:
Step 1: The time taken for Part 1 is 28 minutes.
Step 2: The time taken for Part 2 is 34 minutes.
Step 3: The total cycling time is 28+34=62 minutes.
Step 4: Diego's total time to complete the cycle, including rest, is 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes). The rest time is:
75−62=13 minutes.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is 13 minutes.
