# The cyclist

The cyclist went from village to town. First half of journey went at 20 km/h. The second half of the journey, which mostly fell, went at 39 km/h. All journey took 88 minutes. Calculate the distance from the village to the town.

Result

d =  38.8 km

#### Solution:

$20 t_1 = 39 t_2 \ \\ t_1 + t_2 = \dfrac{ 88}{60} \ \\ t_1 \doteq 0.97 \ h \ \\ t_2 \doteq 0.5 \ h \ \\ s = 20 t_1 + 39 t_2 = 38.8 \ \text{km} \ \\$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
