Question

George jogged downhill at 6 mph and then jogged back up at 4 mph. If the total jogging time was 1.25 hours, how far did he jog in all?

Answer 1

The total distance covered is 6 m

Explanation:

Let the total distance be '2d'

Total time = 1.25hrs

Downhill speed = 6 mphr

Uphill speed = 4 mphr

(d/6) +(d/4) = 1.25

(2d + 3d) /12 = 1.25

5d/12 = 1.25

d = 3m

So, 2d = 6 m

The total distance covered is 6 m
