The tourist walked for 10 km, and then traveled 60 km by bus. How many times is the driving speed greater than the walking speed if he was driving 2.5 times longer than he was walking?

The solution to this problem:
Take x as the walking time, then 2.5x is the bus ride time.
1) 60 / 2.5 = 24 (km) – traveled by bus.
2) 24/10 = 2.4 (times) – driving speed, more, walking speed.
Answer: 2.4 times.
