oliver can jog about 3 times as fast as he can walk. If his average walking rate is one mile in 20 minutes, about how far could he jog in 2 hours?
walking rate = 1/20
jogging rate = 3times or 3miles/20 minutes
2 hours = 120 minutes
Can you finish from here?
I'm not getting it yet?
you can cover 3 miles every 20 minutes
You are walking for 12o minutes.
3 miles/20 minutes = x miles/120 minutes.
The denominator of 120 is 6 times bigger than the denominator of 20.
so you should go 6 times farther.
so she could go 40 miles in 2 hours because 120/3=40
No wait is it 18 miles?
18 miles is right.
To find out how far Oliver could jog in 2 hours, we need to calculate his jogging rate.
Given that Oliver can jog about 3 times as fast as he can walk, we can calculate his jogging rate as follows:
Jogging rate = Walking rate x 3
His walking rate is one mile in 20 minutes, so his jogging rate would be:
Jogging rate = 1 mile / 20 minutes x 3 = 3 miles / 20 minutes
Next, we need to convert his jogging rate to miles per hour since the given time is in hours.
To convert minutes to hours, divide by 60:
Jogging rate = (3 miles / 20 minutes) x (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 9 miles per hour
Now we can calculate the distance Oliver could jog in 2 hours:
Distance = Rate x Time = 9 miles per hour x 2 hours = 18 miles
Therefore, Oliver could jog about 18 miles in 2 hours.
