A woman can bicycle 60 miles in the same time as it takes her to walk 12 miles. She can ride 8 mph faster than she can walk. How fast can she walk? Using r as your variable to represent the rate at which she walks, write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be used to solve this problem. Equation: She walks mph
