40.5 seconds.
If he runs up 7 steps, then he needs 30.0 seconds to reach the top. If he runs up 13 steps, then he needs 21.0 seconds to reach the top. The 6 additional steps take 9.0 seconds. Therefore, each step takes 1.5 seconds. Total steps in escalator = 7 + 30.0 / 1.5 = 27 or Total steps in escalator = 13 + 21.0 / 1.5 = 27. If Justin did not run up any steps at all,
he would reach the top of the escalator in 40.5 seconds (27 steps * 1.5 seconds per step)
