Question 342299: I was walking down the street one day andd a jgger passed me. I was curious to know whether I could figure out how fast the jogger was running, so I started paying attention to where the jogger was. When she passed a light post a little ways in front of me, I began to count seconds. It took me 9 seconds to get to the post. When I reached the pole, I looked up to see that she was just passing a mango tree. I again counted seconds until I reahed the mango tree and it took me 11 seconds. When I reached the fire hydrant, she was passing a phonebooth. It took me 14 seconds to each the phonebooth. I knew that I walked 2 paces in 1 second and my pace was 1 yard lng. Approximately how fast in miles per hour was the jogger moving?
