C 29 1/2 miles

D 48 miles Solve the riddle



Answer
Assuming that the father walks a straight path, maintains a constant speed, and doesn't stop for directions.....

Let y = # of hours
Let x = miles per hour
Let z = distance traveled

Based on this, the initial equation you can set up is: yx = z

Plug in the information you are given:

12 hours(x) = 36 miles
12x = 36

Solve for x:

x = 36/12 = 3 miles/hour

Using the previous equation, plug in the givens for the son's travel:

Twice the father's speed = 3mph (2) = 6mph

(9 hours)(6mph) = 54 miles(hour)/hour = 54 miles traveled by the son.

The correct answer is A.

Does this sound right for losing weight?

Answer
No. Exercise is not the path to fat loss. Diet is.

Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet.

Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn.

Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success.

With no mention of your energy intake (calorie consumption) there's no way we could know if your exercise is going to result in fat loss.

Also, your planned exercises are a poor way to fitness. It's all leg and ab work and waaay too much repetitive motion with limited variety.


Good luck and good health!!
