Every morning Aya goes for a $9$-kilometer-long walk and stops at a coffee shop afterwards. When she walks at a constant speed of $s$ kilometers per hour, the walk takes her 4 hours, including $t$ minutes spent in the coffee shop. When she walks $s+2$ kilometers per hour, the walk takes her 2 hours and 24 minutes, including $t$ minutes spent in the coffee shop. Suppose Aya walks at $s+rac{1}{2}$ kilometers per hour. Find the number of minutes the walk takes her, including the $t$ minutes spent in the coffee shop.

Let me try to understand it step by step. First, Aya walks a total distance of 9 kilometers. When she walks at a speed of s kilometers per hour, it takes her 4 hours, including t minutes in the coffee shop. Then, when she increases her speed to s + 2 kilometers per hour, the total time becomes 2 hours and 24 minutes, still including t minutes in the coffee shop. The question is, if she walks at s + 1/2 kilometers per hour, how many minutes will her walk take, including the t minutes in the coffee shop. Hmm, okay. So, I think I need to find the value of s first, and then t, and then calculate the time at the new speed. Let me denote the time she spends walking as t_w, and the time she spends in the coffee shop as t_c. So, the total time is t_w + t_c. When she walks at speed s, the time taken to walk 9 kilometers is 4 hours. So, the walking time t_w1 is 4 hours minus t minutes. But wait, t is in minutes, so I need to convert that to hours to keep the units consistent. Similarly, when she walks at s + 2 km/h, the total time is 2 hours and 24 minutes. Again, I need to convert 24 minutes to hours. Let me write down the equations. First scenario: - Total distance: 9 km - Speed: s km/h - Total time: 4 hours (including t minutes) So, walking time t_w1 = 4 - (t/60) hours And coffee shop time t_c = t minutes = t/60 hours So, the equation is: t_w1 + t_c = 4 Which is: (4 - t/60) + (t/60) = 4 Wait, that simplifies to 4 = 4, which doesn't help. Hmm, maybe I need another approach. Wait, perhaps I should consider that the total time is 4 hours, which includes both walking and coffee shop time. So, the walking time is 4 - (t/60) hours, and the coffee shop time is t/60 hours. Similarly, when she walks at s + 2 km/h, the total time is 2 hours and 24 minutes, which is 2 + 24/60 = 2.4 hours. So, the walking time t_w2 = 2.4 - (t/60) hours And coffee shop time t_c = t/60 hours Now, the distance walked is speed multiplied by time, so: When walking at s km/h: Distance = s * t_w1 = s * (4 - t/60) = 9 km When walking at s + 2 km/h: Distance = (s + 2) * t_w2 = (s + 2) * (2.4 - t/60) = 9 km So, I have two equations: 1) s * (4 - t/60) = 9 2) (s + 2) * (2.4 - t/60) = 9 I can solve these two equations to find s and t. Let me denote t/60 as x for simplicity. So, x = t/60, which means t = 60x. Then, equation 1 becomes: s * (4 - x) = 9 Equation 2 becomes: (s + 2) * (2.4 - x) = 9 Now, I can solve equation 1 for s: s = 9 / (4 - x) Then, substitute s into equation 2: (9 / (4 - x) + 2) * (2.4 - x) = 9 Let me compute this step by step. First, compute 9 / (4 - x) + 2: = (9 + 2*(4 - x)) / (4 - x) = (9 + 8 - 2x) / (4 - x) = (17 - 2x) / (4 - x) So, equation 2 becomes: (17 - 2x)/(4 - x) * (2.4 - x) = 9 Multiply both sides by (4 - x): (17 - 2x)(2.4 - x) = 9*(4 - x) Let me expand the left side: 17*2.4 - 17x - 2x*2.4 + 2x^2 = 40.8 - 17x - 4.8x + 2x^2 = 40.8 - 21.8x + 2x^2 Right side: 9*(4 - x) = 36 - 9x So, the equation is: 40.8 - 21.8x + 2x^2 = 36 - 9x Bring all terms to the left side: 40.8 - 21.8x + 2x^2 - 36 + 9x = 0 Simplify: (40.8 - 36) + (-21.8x + 9x) + 2x^2 = 0 = 4.8 - 12.8x + 2x^2 = 0 Let me write it as: 2x^2 - 12.8x + 4.8 = 0 This is a quadratic equation. Let me divide all terms by 2 to simplify: x^2 - 6.4x + 2.4 = 0 Now, I can solve for x using the quadratic formula: x = [6.4 ± sqrt(6.4^2 - 4*1*2.4)] / 2 Compute discriminant: 6.4^2 = 40.96 4*1*2.4 = 9.6 So, discriminant = 40.96 - 9.6 = 31.36 sqrt(31.36) = 5.6 So, x = [6.4 ± 5.6] / 2 First solution: x = (6.4 + 5.6)/2 = 12/2 = 6 Second solution: x = (6.4 - 5.6)/2 = 0.8/2 = 0.4 Now, x = t/60, so t = 60x So, possible t values: If x = 6, t = 60*6 = 360 minutes = 6 hours If x = 0.4, t = 60*0.4 = 24 minutes Now, let's check which one makes sense. First, check x = 6: s = 9 / (4 - 6) = 9 / (-2) = -4.5 km/h Negative speed doesn't make sense, so x = 6 is invalid. Thus, x = 0.4, t = 24 minutes. So, t = 24 minutes. Now, find s: s = 9 / (4 - 0.4) = 9 / 3.6 = 2.5 km/h So, s = 2.5 km/h Now, the question is, if she walks at s + 1/2 km/h, which is 2.5 + 0.5 = 3 km/h, how many minutes will her walk take, including t minutes in the coffee shop. So, total time = walking time + coffee shop time. Walking time t_w3 = total distance / speed = 9 / 3 = 3 hours Coffee shop time t_c = 24 minutes Total time = 3 hours + 24 minutes = 3*60 + 24 = 180 + 24 = 204 minutes So, the walk takes 204 minutes, including the 24 minutes in the coffee shop. Wait, let me double-check. Wait, when she walks at 3 km/h, the walking time is 9 / 3 = 3 hours, which is 180 minutes. Coffee shop time is 24 minutes. So, total time is 180 + 24 = 204 minutes. That seems correct. So, the answer is 204 minutes. </think> The walk takes 204 minutes, including the 24 minutes spent in the coffee shop. **Step-by-Step Explanation:** 1. **Define Variables:** - Let \( s \) be Aya's walking speed in km/h. - Let \( t \) be the time spent in the coffee shop in minutes. 2. **Convert Time to Hours:** - Total walking time at speed \( s \): \( 4 \) hours. - Coffee shop time: \( \frac{t}{60} \) hours. - Total time: \( 4 + \frac{t}{60} \) hours. 3. **Set Up Equations:** - When walking at \( s \) km/h: \[ s \times \left(4 - \frac{t}{60}\right) = 9 \] - When walking at \( s + 2 \) km/h: \[ (s + 2) \times \left(2.4 - \frac{t}{60}\right) = 9 \] 4. **Solve for \( s \) and \( t \):** - Let \( x = \frac{t}{60} \). - Equation 1: \( s = \frac{9}{4 - x} \). - Equation 2: \( (s + 2)(2.4 - x) = 9 \). - Substitute \( s \) from Equation 1 into Equation 2 and solve the quadratic equation to find \( x = 0.4 \) and \( t = 24 \) minutes. 5. **Calculate New Walking Speed:** - New speed: \( s + \frac{1}{2} = 3 \) km/h. 6. **Compute Total Time:** - Walking time: \( \frac{9}{3} = 3 \) hours = 180 minutes. - Total time: 180 + 24 = 204 minutes. **Answer:** The walk takes 204 minutes, including the 24 minutes spent in the coffee shop.
