A jogger runs at an average speed of 5.9 mi/h. If she starts a run at 11:15 am, what time is it after she covers 4.75 x 104ft?

To determine the time it takes for the jogger to cover a distance of 4.75 x 10^4 ft, we need to convert the distance to miles.

Given: 1 mile = 5280 ft

4.75 x 10^4 ft = (4.75 x 10^4) / 5280 miles

= 9.00 miles (rounded to two decimal places)

To calculate the time, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 9.00 miles / 5.9 mi/h

= 1.525 hours (rounded to three decimal places)

Now, we add this time to the starting time of 11:15 am.

11:15 am + 1.525 hours

To add hours to a time, we convert the hours to minutes and add them to the minutes part of the time.

1.525 hours = 1 hour and 0.525 hours

0.525 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 31.5 minutes

So, the time taken is approximately 1 hour and 31.5 minutes.

Adding this to 11:15 am:

11:15 am + 1 hour = 12:15 pm

Then,

12:15 pm + 31.5 minutes = around 12:46 pm

Therefore, it would be approximately 12:46 pm after she covers a distance of 4.75 x 10^4 ft.

To find the time it takes for the jogger to cover a certain distance, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

First, we need to convert the distance from feet to miles since the jogger's speed is given in miles per hour. There are 5,280 feet in a mile, so:

Distance in miles = (4.75 x 10^4) / 5280

Distance in miles ≈ 8.98 miles

Now, we can calculate the time using the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 8.98 miles / 5.9 mi/h

Time ≈ 1.52 hours

Since we want to find the time after the jogger starts at 11:15 am, we add the calculated time to the starting time.

11:15 am + 1.52 hours = 12:45 pm

Therefore, it would be approximately 12:45 pm when the jogger covers a distance of 4.75 x 10^4 feet.

I would convert 5.9 miles/hour to feet/hour (there are 5,280 feet in a mile) , then use

distance = rate x time
solve for time in hours and add to 11:15 A. M.

11:54Am
