A man walks at a rate of 10 mph. After every ten miles, he rests for 6 minutes. How much time doeshe take to walk 50 miles?

• 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

  THERE WILL BE 4GAPS SO:4*6=24

• 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.

• 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
