Travel rates rule to relate the numbers, RT=D, and then T=D/R; 
             rate            time         distance

JOG          r+2&1/2         10%2F%28r%2B2%261%2F2%29      10

WALK         r               10%2Fr            10

TOTAL                         6             20

Do you see what to do from this?
