\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = return home time jogging at 8 mph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation, dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "To dist = return dist
\n" ); document.write( "6* $\"1%2F3\"$ = 8t
\n" ); document.write( "2 = 8t
\n" ); document.write( "t = $\"2%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "t = $\"1%2F4\"$ hr or 15 min \n" ); document.write( "
