The answer is A because 24 3/8 inches is roughly 2 feet, 100/2 is 50, and since there is a small 3/8 value, the answer is 49
There are 5,280 feet in a mile. so 52,800 feet is 10 miles.
In order to solve this problem, you must draw a right triangle first to help you visualize the path of the jogger.
You are given 0.5 miles north (which will be the height of the right triangle), and 1.3 miles (which will be the hypotenuse of the triangle).
Using Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c², we have:
0.5² + b² = 1.3²
b = 1.3²-0.5²
b = 1.2 miles
0.0340909091 is the answer
