Answer: you travelled 10 km

Explanation:

Pam jogged up the hill at 6 km/h.

Let x represent the number of kilometers that you travelled by jogging up the hill or returning back.

Time = Distance/speed

Pam jogged up the hill at 6 km/h.

Time spent in jogging up the hill would be

x /6

She then jog back down the hill at 10 km an hour. Time spent in jogging down the hill would be

x /10

If the total jogging tie is 1 hour 20 minutes, converting to hours, it becomes 1 + 20/60 = 1.33

Therefore

x /6 + x/10 = 1.33

10x + 6x = 80

16x = 80

x = 80/16 = 5

Total distance travelled up and down the hill would b

5 × 2 = 10 km
