The time taken to complete her run is 1.9 hr.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Speed is a scalar quantity and it is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. As distance is also a scalar quantity, so the directions given in the problem can be ignored. Thus, the distance covered by the jogger is the sum of kilometers given in problem.
Distance covered = 6+5+4 = 15 km
And the speed is given as 8 km/hr.
So the time taken will be ratio of distance to speed.
So the jogger will take 1.9 hr to complete her run.

We know Office A is walking at 5 mph directly south. Let be its distance. In t hours he has walked
Office B is walking at 6 mph directly west. In t hours his distance is
Since both directions are 90 degrees apart, the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a triangle which sides are the distances of each office
This distance is known to be 2 miles, so
t is approximately 15 minutes
