Assuming the best conditions, the person will jog 60 min or 1 hour. So t = 1 and r = 4 (since "a person jogs at a speed of 4miles per hour")




d = rt

d = 4*1

d = 4


So s/he will go 4 miles at most. This is of course if it's sunny. The person may jog less if the conditions aren't that favorable.

If it's raining:
+d+=+4%2A%281%2F2%29+ mi/hr x hrs
+d+=+2+ mi
If it's sunny:
+d+=+4%2A1+ mi/hr x hrs
+d+=+4+ mi
