Tova used to spend 40 minutes per day jogging and covered a distance equivalent to the distance from Rue de Vache to LaPointe 73 times during the year.
The distance is 20 miles. What is her speed in miles per hour?
:
Find the total distance ran originally: 73 * 20 = 1460 mi
Find her speed in mph: 40%2F20 = 2 min/mi which is 30 mph
:
Tova now spends 45 minutes per day jogging and has sped up 1 mile per hour.
How many times would she run a distance equivalent to the distance from Rue de Vache to LaPoint
:
Change 45 min to .75 hrs, the jogging speed now is 31 mph
:
1460%2F%28.75%2A31%29 = 62.8 time would equal the previous distance
