Regular 3241

The tourist started with a regular step on the road at a speed of 80 steps per minute. After going through 100 steps, his son came to see him and wanted to catch up with him. The son took regular steps as long as his father and moved at 120 steps per minute. How many steps did he meet with his father?

Correct answer:

n =  300

Step-by-step explanation:


100+80m = 120 m
n = 120 m

100+80·m = 120·m
n = 120·m

40m = 100
120m-n = 0

Pivot: Row 1 ↔ Row 2
120m-n = 0
40m = 100

Row 2 - 40/120 · Row 1 → Row 2
120m-n = 0
0.33n = 100


n = 100/0.33333333 = 300
m = 0+n/120 = 0+300/120 = 2.5

m = 5/2 = 2.5
n = 300
