Setup a rational equation and solve it from the word problem. Mr. Solberg can ride his scooter 3 miles against the wind in the same time it takes him to scooter 4 miles with the wind. If the speed of the wind is 5 mile per hour, how fast does Mr. Solberg scooter when there is no wind?

The speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind is 35 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The time Mr. Solberg rides his scooter and cover 3 miles against the wind = The time Mr. Solberg rides his scooter and cover 4 miles with the wind

The speed of the wind = 5 miles per hour

Let v, represent the speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind, we have;

Time = Distance/Speed

Mr Solberg's speed against the wind = v - 5

Mr Solberg's speed with the wind = v + 5

The distance covered at a given time, while riding against the wind = 3 miles

The distance covered at the same time, while riding with the wind = 4 miles

The time in both instances are therefore 3/(v - 5) = 4/(v + 5)

From which we have;

3 × (v + 5) = 4 × (v - 5)

3·v + 15 = 4·v - 20

20 + 15 = 4·v - 3·v

4·v - 3·v = 20 + 15

v = 35

The speed of Mr Solberg's scooter when there is no wind = v = 35 miles per hour.
