A child in an airport is able to cover 388meters in 4 minutes running at a steady speed down a moving sidewalk in the direction of the sidewalk's motion. Running at the same speed in the direction opposite to the sidewalk's movement, the child is able to cover 255 meters in 5 minutes. What is the child's running speed on a still sidewalk, and what is the speed of the moving sidewalk?
I need help in setting up this word problem and I can perform the rest. Thanks.
