\"You jog at a speed of 6 miles per hour for 20 minutes, and you walk at a speed of 4 miles per hour for t minutes. If your combined jogging and walking distance is 3 miles, for how long did you walk?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Jogging distance:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 6 mph ; time= (1/3) hr. ; distance =rt= 6(1/3)= 2 mi.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Walking distance:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 4 mph ; time = t/60 hr. ; distance = rt = 4(t/60)=(t/15)
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "jog dist + walk dist = 3 miles
\n" ); document.write( "2 + (t/15) = 3
\n" ); document.write( "t/15 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "t= 15 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "You walked for 15 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
