Answer:

10 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent athlete's walking speed.

We have been given that her jogging rate is 5 mph faster than her walking​ rate, so athlete's jogging speed would be x+5 miles per hour.

\text{Distance}=\text{Rate}\cdot \text{Time}

10 minutes = 1/6 hour.

20 minutes = 1/3 hour

While walking, we will get D_{\text{walking}}=x\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{3}\text{hour}

D_{\text{walking}}=\frac{x}{3}

While jogging, we will get D_{\text{jogging}}=(x+5)\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{6}\text{hour}

D_{\text{jogging}}= \frac{(x+5)}{6}

Since athlete is covering same distance while walking and jogging, so we can equate both expressions as:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x+5}{6}

Cross multiply:

6x=3x+15

6x-3x=15

3x=15

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}\\\\x=5

Therefore, athlete's walking speed is 5 miles per hour.

Jogging speed: x+5\Rightarrow 5+5=10

Therefore, athlete's jogging speed is 10 miles per hour.
