Homework Statement
A golfer rides in a golf cart at an average speed of 3.1 m/s for 28s. She then gets out of the cart and starts walking at an average speed of 1.3 m/s. For how long must she walk if her average speed for the entire trip, riding and walking, is 1.8 m/s ?

The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
This question seems simple considering there's only formula at play. I tried splitting up into 2 parts. The first part, the person walks at an average speed of 3.1 m/s for 28s. Distance can be calculated as 86.8 m
After this I got lost. I know there's a second part where she walks at an average speed of 1.3 m/s. However nothing else is known. And we know her entire average speed is 1.8 m/s
Any ideas?
