Let the speed of walking of James = x mile/hour

            speed of jogging = 2x mile/hour

9/2x + 1.5/x = 2

or, (9 + 3)/2x = 2

or, 12 = 4x

or, x = 3

Average speed of walking = 3 mile/hour

Average speed of jogging = 2 * 3 = 6 mile/hour

The average jogging speed of James is \boxed{6\text{ miles per hour}}.

Further explanation:

Given:

Total distance travelled by james while jogging is 9\text{ miles}.

Total distance travelled by James while walking is 1.5\text{ miles}.

Total time taken by James is 2\text{ hours}.

Formula used:

The time required to cover a distance of d at a speed of s is calculated as follows:

\boxed{t=\dfrac{d}{s}}

Calculation:

Consider the walking speed of James as x miles per hour and the jogging speed as 2x miles per hour.

Time taken to cover the distance of 9\text{miles} at a speed of 2x miles per hour can be calculated as follows:

\boxed{t_{1}=\dfrac{9}{2x}}

Here, t_{1} is time taken to cover the distance 9\text{miles}.

Time taken to cover the distance of 1.5\text{miles} at a speed of x miles per hour can be calculated as follows:

\boxed{t_{2}=\dfrac{1.5}{x}}  

Here, t_{2} is time taken to cover the distance 1.5\text{ miles}.

Total time taken to cover the total distance is 2\text{ hour}.

The above expression is represented in equation form as,

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{9}{2x}+\dfrac{1.5}{x}&=2\\ \dfrac{9+(2\times1.5)}{2x}&=2\\9+3&=4x\\x&=\dfrac{12}{4}\\x&=3\end{aligned}

Therefore the speed of walking is 3\text{ miles per hour}.

The speed of jogging is twice the speed of walking so, the speed of jogging is calculated as follows:

\boxed{2\times 3=6}

Therefore, the average jogging speed of James is 6 miles per hour.

Thus, the average jogging speed of james is \boxed{6\text{ miles per hour}}.

If the angles of a traingle are in the ratio 2:3:4 , Find Them​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

40°, 60°, and 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.

We can use this equation to solve for these angles:

180 = 2x + 3x + 4x

180 = 9x

20 = x

Then substitute the solution in for x to solve for the angles:

2(20) = 40°

3(20) = 60°

4(20) = 80°

Therefore, the angles are 40°, 60°, and 80°.
