Question

Jonas jogged up the hill at an average rate of of a mile per minute and then walked down the hill at an average rate of of a mile per minute. The round trip took him 42 minutes. What is the missing value in the table that represents the distance of the trip down the hill?

Answer 1

The missing value depends on the speed of jonas to total miles  covered by jonas.......if we were to assume that he jogged up the hill at a distance of 15minutes  then the trip took him 42 min in total so the remaining travel time would be 27 minutes .....lets say he is walking down the hill at .5 miles per min,.. you shpuld multiply by 27 by .5 which is 13.5
