A man walked into the road at 4 miles per hour and returned over the same road at the rate of 3 miles per hour. If he completed the entire trip in 7/2 hours,how far in miles in to the roads did he walk?

let distance he went each way be x miles

time for first leg = x/4
time for 2nd leg = x/3

x/4 + x/3 = 7/2
times 12
3x + 4x = 42
x = 6

he went 6 miles into the road

check:
time for 1st part = 6/4 hrs
time for 2nd part = 6/3 hrs
and 6/4 + 2 = 3/2 + 2 = 7/2

To determine the distance that the man walked, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed × Time.

Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. Let's assume that the distance walked in one direction is "x" miles.
2. The man walked into the road at a speed of 4 miles per hour, so the time taken going in one direction is x/4 hours.
3. The man returned over the same road at a speed of 3 miles per hour, so the time taken for the return journey is x/3 hours.
4. According to the problem, the entire trip took 7/2 hours. Thus, the total time taken for the round trip is (x/4) + (x/3) = 7/2.

To solve for "x," let's create an equation:
(x/4) + (x/3) = 7/2

To simplify this equation, we can multiply through by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of 4 and 3, which is 12:
3x + 4x = 7 * 6
7x = 42
x = 42/7
x = 6

Therefore, the man walked 6 miles into the road.

Well, it seems like this man is quite a wanderer! Alright, let's do some calculations and see where he ended up.

If the man walked at a speed of 4 miles per hour and returned at a speed of 3 miles per hour, we can assume that his average speed for the whole trip was somewhere in between, right?

To find out how far he walked, we need to determine his average speed first. We can use the formula: average speed = total distance / total time.

Let's say the distance he walked in one direction is "x" miles. Since he walked back over the same road, he covered a total distance of 2x miles.

Now, let's calculate the total time: 7/2 hours.

Using the formula for average speed, we get: Average speed = 2x miles / (7/2) hours = (4x/7) miles per hour.

Since the average speed is between his speeds of 4 mph and 3 mph, we can write the following equation: 3 mph < (4x/7) mph < 4 mph.

To solve this inequality, we multiply all sides by 7: 21 < 4x < 28.

Divide all sides by 4: 5.25 < x < 7.

Now, since the distance "x" represents how far he walked in one direction, it cannot be negative or zero.

Therefore, the distance he walked on the road is between 5.25 and 7 miles.

So, in conclusion, he walked somewhere between 5.25 and 7 miles. I guess he really wanted to stretch his legs!

To find the distance the man walked, we can first determine the total time he spent walking.

Let's assume the distance the man walked in the road is d miles.

The time it took the man to walk one way is given by d/4 hours, as he was walking at a speed of 4 miles per hour.

The time it took the man to return over the same road is given by d/3 hours, as he was walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour.

According to the given information, the total time taken for the entire trip is 7/2 hours.

So, we can set up the equation:

d/4 + d/3 = 7/2

To solve this equation, we can find a common denominator:

3d + 4d = 42/2

7d = 21

Dividing both sides by 7:

d = 3

Therefore, the man walked a distance of 3 miles into the road.
