Tasha’s school bus usually drops her off in town every day at 4pm and her mother picks her up at the bus stop. Last Friday was a short school day, only Tasha’s mother forgot so she wasn’t at the bus stop when Tasha was dropped off an hour early, at 3pm. Since Tasha had forgotten her cell phone at home she decided to walk home along her mother’s driving route. Her mother left home at the usual time and picked Tasha up along the way. They arrived home 10 minutes before their usual time. How long had Tasha walked before her mother picked her up? Can you tell how far she walked before being picked up?

We need to know the relative walking/driving speeds. There are lots of solutions otherwise.
