Jim began a 219-mile bicycle trip to build up stamina for a triathlon

competition. Unfortunately, his bicycle chain broke, so he finished the

trip walking. The whole trip took 8 hours. If Jim walks at a rate of 4

miles per hour and rides at 38 miles per hour, find the amount of time

he spent on the bicycle.

    The total is 219 miles.

    He rides at 38 mph and walks at 4 mph for 8 hours. If he rides for h hours, he walks for 8-h hours.

    Set them equal to each other:

    219=38h+4 (8-h)

    Solve and you should get 5.5 hours on the bicycle and 2.5 hours walking.
