In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.21


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.21 m/s, due west. This average velocity results because she hikes for 6.44 km with an average velocity of 2.52 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.435 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk? in km? ______km
