Question

Jesse and Mark are jogging at a rate of 12 miles per hour. If they start by jogging along Capitol Street for 1 mile and then turn east on H Street, how far have they jogged in total when they reach the turning point?

a) 1 mile
b) 2 miles
c) 2.75 miles
d) 3 miles

Answer 1

Jesse and Mark's total distance jogged when they reach the turning point cannot be determined with the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jesse and Mark are jogging at a rate of 12 miles per hour. If they start by jogging 1 mile on Capitol Street, and then turn east on H Street, the total distance they have jogged when they reach the turning point can be found by adding the distances on Capitol Street and H Street.

The distance on Capitol Street is 1 mile.

The distance on H Street can be calculated using the formula distance = speed x time. Since they jog at a rate of 12 miles per hour, the time it takes to jog on H Street can be found by dividing the distance on H Street by the speed:

Distance on H Street = (12 miles/hour) x (time in hours)

Since the total distance they jog on H Street is unknown, we can represent this distance as 'x':

x = (12 miles/hour) x (time in hours)

At this point, we don't have enough information to calculate the time it takes to jog on H Street, so we can't find the total distance jogged when they reach the turning point.
