<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Total miles = 2.5 miles
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>1- While walking:</u>
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked
of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:</u>
Distance = 3 *
= 1 mile
<u>2- While running:</u>
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran
of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:</u>
Distance = 6 *
= 1.5 miles
<u>3- getting the total mileage:</u>
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles
Hope this helps :)
