Answer:3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Juno jogs at rate of 6 miles and bikes at rate of 14 miles covering total of 48 miles.
Akima jogs at rate of 8 miles and bikes at rate of 12 miles covering total of 44 miles.
Let jogging be represented by j
Let biking be represented by b
For Juno, 6j + 14b = 48 ......... i
For Akima, 8j + 12b = 44.......... ii
Multiply equation I by 8
Multiply equation ii by 6
48j + 112b = 384 ........... iii
48j + 72b = 264 ............. iv
Subtract equation iv from iii
48j + 112b = 384
- 48j + 72b = 264
40b = 120
b = 120/40
b = 3
Number of hours spent biking is 3 hours.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Juno:
Biking rate, bj = 14 miles
Jogging rate, jj = 6 miles
Total distance, dj = 48 miles
Akimo:
Biking rate, ba = 12 miles
Jogging rate, ja = 8 miles
Total distance, da = 44 miles
Since they are going to jog for the same amount of time as each other every day we are also going to bike for the same amount of time as each other.
Rate, r = distance, d/time, t
Let t1 and t2 be the time taken for juno and akimo to jog and bike respectively.
Jogging:
Juno: 6t1
Akimo: 8t1
Biking:
Juno: 14t2
Akimo: 12t2
6t1 + 14t2 = 48
8t1 + 12t2 = 44
Solving the equations simultaneously,
t2 = (48 - 6t1)/14
Into the next equation,
8t1 + 12[(48 - 6t1)/14] = 44
t1 = 1 hour
Inputting t1 = 1 into t2 = (48 - 6t1)/14
t2 = 3 hours
Therefore, 3 hours is spent on biking.
