Answer:

  5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

It may get a bit messy, but we can solve for the desired value directly. Let d = the distance walked (in miles). Then 20-d is the distance traveled in the car. The relevant relation is ...

  time = distance / speed

The total travel time is 9:00 -6:50 = 2:10 = 2 1/6 hours = 13/6 hours. Here is the equation for total travel time.

  total time = time spent walking + time spent riding

  13/6 = (d/3) + (20-d)/30

Multiplying by 30 gives ...

  65 = 10d + 20 -d

  45 = 9d . . . . . . . . . . subtract 20

  5 = d . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 9

The girl walked 5 miles.

_____

Check

Her walking time was (5 mi)/(3 mph) = 5/3 h = 1:40.

Her riding time was (15 mi)/(30 mph) = 1/2 h = 0:30.

Her total travel time was 1:40 +0:30 = 1:70 = 2:10, as required.
