Answer:

  12 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between jogging speed and walking speed means the time it takes to walk 4 miles is the same as the time it takes to jog 8 miles. Then the total travel time (0.75 h) is the time it would take to jog 1+8 = 9 miles. The jogging speed is ...

  (9 mi)(.75 h) = 12 mi/h . . . average jogging speed

__

<em>Check</em>

1 mile will take (1 mi)/(12 mi/h) = 1/12 h to jog.

4 miles will take (4 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4/6 = 8/12 h to walk.

The total travel time is (1/12 +8/12) h = 9/12 h = 3/4 h. (answer checks OK)

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

Olympic race-walking speed is on the order of 7.7 mi/h, so John's walking speed of 6 mi/h should be considered quite a bit faster than normal. The fastest marathon ever run is on the order of a bit more than 12 mi/h, so John's jogging speed is also quite a bit faster than normal. No wonder he got tired.

Zoe's Fish tank holds 27 L of water she uses a 3L container to fill the tank how many times does she have to fill the three litt
Marianna [84]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Zoe's Fish tank holds 27 L of water, so this is the capacity of the tank. On the other hand, Zoe uses a 3L container in order to fill the tank, so the question is  how many times does she have to fill the three litter container in order to fill the fish tank? Let's solve this as follows:

First time:

She pours 3L

Second time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 3L, so she has poured 6L

Third time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 6L, so she has poured 9L

Fourth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 9L, so she has poured 12L

Fifth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 12L, so she has poured 15L

Sixth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 15L, so she has poured 18L

Seventh time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 18L, so she has poured 21L

Eighth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 21L, so she has poured 24L

Ninth time:

She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 24L, so she has poured 27L

<em>According to this, she needs to pours the </em><em>3L </em><em>container nine times in order to fill the fish tank. This can also be solved dividing </em><em>27L/3L= 9</em>
