(2 3/4) / (1/2) = x / 1.....2 3/4 miles to 1/2 hr = x miles to 1 hr
(11/4) / (1/2) = x/1
cross multiply
(1/2)(x) = (11/4)(1)
1/2x = 11/4
x = (11/4) / (1/2)
x = 11/4 * 2/1
x = 22/4
x = 5 1/2 <=== she jogged 5 1/2 miles per hr

One number is 1 more than 2 times another. Their product is 10. Find the numbers.
Taya2010 [7]
Whenever a problem says "one number" and "another number" we can substitute x and y. for this we have x=2y+1 and xy=1. since we know the value of x (2y+1) we can substitute it for the other equation to get (2y+1)y=10. simplify to get 2y^2+y=10. from here you can do a few methods to solve this, but the simplest in my opinion is by factoring. 

In order to factor it must be equal to 0, so we have 2y^2+y-10=0. We factor this and get y=5 (we also get y=-4 but it is an extraneous root). now we can plug that into either equation and find that x=2.

this means our two numbers are 5 and 2
