he walks 10 miles in one hour.
he walks 50 miles in 1*5= 5 hours.
for every 10 miles he rests for 6 minutes.
so , for 50 miles he rests for 6 *4 = 24 minutes.
totally he walk 50 miles in 5hrs 24 mins ....

Time = Distance /Speed.

Hence, the time taken by the man to walk 10 miles is 10miles/10 mph = 1 hour.Since the man walks 50 miles in five installments of 10 miles each, each installment should take him 1hour. Hence, the total time for which he walked equals

5 x 1 hr = 5 hr = 5 x 60 = 300 mins.
Since he takes a break after each installment (until reaching the 50 mile point; one after 10 miles; one after20 miles; one after 30 miles; final one after 40 miles.

The 50th mile is his destination.), he takes four breaks;and since each break lasts 6 minutes, the net time spent in the breaks is

4x6 mins = 24 mins.
Hence, the total time taken to reach the destination is 300 + 24 = 324 mins

WALKING TIME=50/10=5HOURS..........
THERE WILL BE 4GAPS SO:4*6=24
SO 5HOURS24MIN

Time taken to walk 50 miles= dist/speed=50miles/10mph=5hrs.
Time taken to rest after every 10 miles= (50miles/10miles)*6min=5*6=30min.
Total time taken=5hrs 30min.

Muhammad Ahmed  (11 years ago)

He takes 5 hours and 24 minutes or 5.4 hours to walk 50 miles.
1hour*5times=5hours
6minutes*4times=24
24min/60min=0.4hours
