Based on the question you provided, we can estimate the distance an athlete can jog in 2 hours given the information that the average person can walk 9/10 mile in 1/3 hour and the athlete can jog 3 times that speed.

If the average person can walk 9/10 mile in 1/3 hour, then their average speed would be:

(9/10) miles ÷ (1/3) hour = (9/10) ÷ (1/3) ≈ 2.7 miles per hour

Since the athlete can jog 3 times that speed, their average jogging speed would be:

2.7 × 3 = 8.1 miles per hour

Therefore, in 2 hours, the athlete can roughly jog a distance of:

distance = speed × time = 8.1 miles/hour × 2 hours = 16.2 miles

So we can estimate that the athlete can jog a distance of 16.2 miles in 2 hours.


hope this helps :)
