e walked 5mph then jogged 8mph , total time 2hours and 15 min ,
how many miles did e go?
:
convert 2 hr 15 min to 2.25 hrs
:
With the limited amt of information, find the average speed
:
Let s = the average speed
:
s = %288%2B5%29%2F2
s = 6.5 mph
:
Distance = Speed * time
d = 6.5 * 2.25
d = 14.625 miles
