Downhill:10mph Uphill:5mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for Dennis’s downhill speed.
Let
r=
Dennis’s downhill speed.
His uphill speed is
5
miles per hour slower.
Let
r−5=
Dennis’s uphill speed.
Enter the rates into the chart. The distance is the same in both directions,
20
miles.
Since
D=rt
, we solve for
t
and get
t=
D
r
.
We divide the distance by the rate in each row and place the expression in the time column.

Write a word sentence about the time.
The total time traveled was
6
hours.
Translate the sentence to get the equation.

Use the Zero Product Property.
(r−10)=0
r=10
(3r−5)=0
r=

The solution
5
3
is unreasonable because
5

−5=−

and his uphill speed cannot be negative. So, Dennis's downhill speed is
10
mph and his uphill speed is
10−5=5
mph.
Check. Is
10
mph a reasonable speed for biking downhill? Yes.
Downhill:

Uphill:

(10−5) mph⋅

=20 miles
The total time traveled was
6
hours.
Dennis’ downhill speed was
10
mph and his uphill speed was
5
mph.
