On the weekend, Tony will walk to the store. On weekdays, he runs to the store. When he walks, he goes 2 MPH. When he runs he goes 10 MPH. The store is 4 miles away. If he goes on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, what is the average time in minutes that he spends to get to the store?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
User
On Sunday he takes 2 hours to get there because 4 / 2 = 2. This takes him 120 minutes because 2 x 60 = 120. On Tuesday and Thursday, it takes him .4 hours to get to the store because 4 / 10 = .4. On Tuesday and Thursday, it takes him 24 minutes to get to the store because .4 x 60 = 24. In total it takes him 168 minutes to get to the store because 120 + 24 + 24 = 168. On average it takes him 56 minutes because 168 / 3 = 56.
Thus, the answer is 56.
