Answer:

a) Destiny can run 1 mile is 6 minutes.

b) Destiny can walk back 1 mile is 16 minutes.

Explanation:

The running rate of Destiny is


((1)/(8)) \textrm{mile in} ((3)/(4)) \textrm{minutes}

So, she runs 1 mile in
8 * ((3)/(4) )\textrm{minutes}

= 6 minutes

Hence, Destiny can run 1 mile is 6 minutes.

The walking rate of Destiny is


((1)/(4)) \textrm{mile in} 4  \textrm{minutes}

So, she walks 1 mile in
4 * (4 )\textrm{minutes}

= 16 minutes

Hence, Destiny can walk back 1 mile is 16 minutes.
