<PRE><B>Question 1064314</B>
I can walk at 2 miles per hour (mph) and jog at 5 mph. I get home from the bus stop 4 minutes quicker if I jog instead of walk. How far is it from my home to the bus stop? 
------
Walk DATA:
rate = 2 mph ; time = t hrs ; distance = 2t miles
------------
Jog DATA:
rate = 5 mph ; time = (t-(1/15)) hrs ; distance = 5(t-(1/15)) miles
------------
Equation::
dist = distance
2t = 5t - 3 ********* should be 5t - 1/3
3t = 3 
t = 1 hr
-----
Ans:: dist = 2t = 2 miles
