Elia rode her bicycle from her house to the beach at a constant speed of 18 1818 kilometers per hour, and then rode from the beach to the park at a constant speed of 15 1515 kilometers per hour. The total duration of the rides was 1 11 hour and the distances she rode in each direction are equal. Let b bb be the number of hours it took Elia to ride from her house to the beach, and p pp the number of hours it took her to ride from the beach to the park.

hello your question is not well written but it seems you are asking for the Total distance covered during the rides hence i will give you a general solution

Total distance travelled during rides = 16.36 km

Total duration of rides = 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

b = number of hours from house to beach

p = number of hours from beach to park

since the total duration of the rides = 1 hour

hence: b + p = 1 ( 1 )

Also ; speed from house to beach = 18 km/hr

         speed from beach to park = 15 km/hr

Given that distance covered in both directions are equal and distance = s * t

Hence distance covered :   18b = 15p  ( 2 )

determine the total distance travelled

b + p = 1 ( 1 )

18b = 15 p ( 2 )

from equation 1 : b = 1 - p

18 ( 1 - p ) = 15p

18 = 15p + 18p

p = 18 / 33 = 6/11

back to equation 1

b + 6/11 = 1

hence b = 1 - 6/11 = 5/11

Distance covered in one direction

18 ( 5/11 ) = 15 ( 6/11 )

90 / 11  = 90 /11

hence Total distance covered = ( 90 / 11 ) * 2 = 16.36 km
