You can put this solution on YOUR website! Nancy jogs & walks to school each day. She averages 4km/h walking and 8km/h jogging the distance from home to school is 6km and she makes the trip in 1 hr. How far does she jog in a trip?
-------------------
Jogging DATA:
rate = 8 km/h ; distance = x km ; time = d/r = x/8 hrs.
-------------------------------
Walking DATA:
rate = 4 km/h ; distance 6-x km ; time = d/r = (6-x)/4 hrs.
----------------------------------
Equation:
time + time = 1 hr.
x/8 + (6-x)/4 = 1 hr
Multiply thru by 8 to get:
x + 12-2x = 8
-x = -4
x = 4 km (distance she jogs in a trip)
