Question

Graham walked to school at an average speed of 3 miles an hour and jogged back along the same route at 5 miles an hour. If his total traveling time was 1 hour, what was the total number of miles in the round trip?

Answer 1

x/3 + x/5 = 1 hr

8x/15 = 1 hr

x = 15/8

15/8 times 2 for round trip. 15/4 miles or 3.75 miles total
