At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is moving converyor belt on which you csan iether stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 117 m and is moving at a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 73 s when walking on the ground. If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that you walk on the ground, how long does it take for you to travel the 117 m using the speed ramp?
