From module Word Problems

Problem

George walks 11 mile to school. He leaves home at the same time each day, walks at a steady speed of 33 miles per hour, and arrives just as school begins. Today he was distracted by the pleasant weather and walked the first 12\frac{1}{2} mile at a speed of only 22 miles per hour. At how many miles per hour must George run the last 12\frac{1}{2} mile in order to arrive just as school begins today?
