Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Llya and anya run speed is 7.7mph

Anya and play walk speed is 4mph

They want to travel a total distance of 5miles

Anya walks half of the journey and run half of the journey

Llya walks half of the time and runs half of the time.

A. How long does it take Anya to cover the distance of 5.00 miles?

Since anya walk half which is 2.5miles

So, she runs half which is 2.5 miles

Speed is given as distance /time

S=d/t

Therefore walking time us

t=d/S., d=2.5mile and S=4mph

t=2.5/4

t=0.625h

The running time

t=d/S. d =2.5mile and S=7.7mph

t=2.5/7

t=0.357h

Total time is 0.625+0.357

t=1.007hour

B. Average speed of anya

Average speed is given by total distance travel over total time traveled

A.S=total distance/time

Total distance is 5mile and time =1.007h

A.S=5/1.007

A.S=4.96mph

A.s=4.96miles/hour

C. How long does it take Ilya to cover the distance?

Let the total time llya use to travel be t

Then walk time =0.5t

Running time =0.5t

Total distance travel is 5miles

Total distance = speed ran × time ran + speed walked × time walked

5=7.7×0.5t+4×0.5t

5=3.85t+2t

5=5.85t

Then, t=5/5.85

t=0.855h.

D. Llya average speed

Average speed is given by total distance travel over total time traveled

A.S=total distance/total time

A.S=5/0.855

A.S=5.85mph
