He ran halfway, fifteen times faster than walking. So he got there T/30 where T is the total walking time.
The second half, he walked, and it took 2*T/2 or T minues.
Total time: T+ T/30
Well, if he had walked it would have taken him only time T.

Yes.
Compare the time D/V to the time
(D/2)/2V + (D/2)/(V/2)= D/4V + D/V
Compare the time D/V to the time
(D/2)/2V + (D/2)/(V/2)= D/4V + D/V
