Abicyclist was traveling from the village to the railroad station with a speed of 15 mph and he was coming back to the village with a speed of 10 mph. find the distance from the village to the railroad station, if it’s known that it took 1 more hour for the bicyclist to get back to the village.

The distance from the village to the railroad station is 30 miles

Speed is the ratio of distance to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance/time

Let d represent the distance from the village to the rail station.

When Going at a speed of 15mph, let us assume he spent a hour, hence:

15 = d/a

d = 15a

When coming at a speed of 10mph, let us assume he spent b hour, hence:

10 = d/b

d = 10b

Therefore:

15a = 10b

But it took 1 more hour for the bicyclist to get back to the village, hence b = a + 1, hence:

15a = 10(a + 1)

15a = 10a + 10

5a = 10

a = 2 hours

d = 15a = 15(2) = 30 miles

Therefore, the distance from the village to the railroad station is 30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

this is not possible to solve with the info given.   you need at least an one angle somewhere.

what level of math? also i don't need to be paid if i can you.
