It takes Sofia c minutes to cycle from the library to the mall. It takes 1/8 of the time of the time cycling to travel the same distance walking. Walking takes w minute. Write an equation relating c and w.

Solution

Time taken by Sofia from the library to the mall by cycle = c

Time taken by Sofia while walk = w

Now,

it is given that time taken by cycling is 1/8 of the time taken by walking.

Hence c = w/8

or,

w = 8c
