A boy hiked up a mountain at 3 km/h and returned at 4 km/h. The entire trip

[elisa15]

took 5h & 10 min....? including the half hour she spent at the top. How long was the trail??

 

[0475839216]

it generally works out for the better.

 

[chase]

the trails 7KMs long

 

[Kate M]

twice as long as half of it!


Oh and its quite impressive that the 'boy' managed to have a sex change on a hike? (a boy hiked up... including the half hour 'she' spent at the top?)

lol

 

[blatantly opinionated]

A boy hiked up a mountain and SHE spent half an hour at the top?
Is this some kind of new transgender process?

 

[O'Neil]

time actually moving = 5h 10m - 30m = 4h 40m =14/3 h

let distance be x km

then x/3 + x/4 = 14/3

clearing fractions, 4x + 3x = 56

7x = 56

x = 8 km

ans: length of trail = 8 km

p.s.
i guess the sex change operation took place
in the half hour at the top !
