Adrian ran from his house to the park at a speed of 5 meters per second. he ran back from the park to his house at a speed of 6 meters per second. the total time taken to run the whole journey was 22 minutes. how many minutes did he take to run from his house to the park

time taken to run from his house to the park is 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance between his house and the park.

The speed at which Adrian ran from his house to the park is 5 meters per second.

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance/speed

Therefore, time taken to run from his house to the park would be

Time = x/5

The speed at which he ran back from the park to his house is 6 meters per second.

Time taken to run back from the park to his house would be

Time = x/6

The total time taken to run the whole journey was 22 minutes. Converting to seconds, it becomes 22× 60 = 1320 seconds. Therefore,

x/5 + x/6 = 1320

Multiplying through by 30, it becomes

6x + 5x = 39600

11x = 39600

x = 39600/11 = 3600 meters

Therefore, time taken to run from his house to the park would be

x/5 = 3600/5 = 720 seconds

Converting to minutes, it becomes

720/60 = 12 minutes
