Answer 1

Let the time spent in walking = x minutes

And the time spent in jogging = y minutes

If I walk with the speed = 0.05 miles per minute

Distance covered in walking = Speed × Time

                                                 = 0.05x miles

If I jog with the speed = 0.1 miles per minute

Distance covered in jogging = Speed × Time

                                                 = 0.1y miles

Since, screen displays the distance covered in walking and jogging = 2.5 miles

Equation for the situation will be,

0.05x + 0.1y = 2.5

5x + 10y = 250

x + 2y = 50 -------(1)

Total time spent in walking and jogging = 30 minutes

Therefore, equation for the situation will be,

x + y = 30 ----- (2)

By subtracting equation (2) from equation (1),

(x + 2y) - (x + y) = 50 - 30

y = 20 minutes

By substituting the value of y in equation (2),

x + 20 = 30

x = 10 minutes

Therefore, time spent in walking is 10 minutes and time spent in jogging is 20 minutes.
