Question

c. when morgan’s dad returned from the store, he went for a jog. he jogged for 1 hour and 15 minutes at a pace of 4.8 miles per hour. how far did he jog?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert time to hours

1 hour and 15 minutes. 15 minutes is $\frac{15}{60} = 0.25$ hours. So total time $t = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25$ hours.

Step2: Use distance formula $d = v \times t$

Speed $v = 4.8$ miles per hour, time $t = 1.25$ hours. So distance $d = 4.8 \times 1.25$.
Calculate $4.8 \times 1.25 = 6$.

Answer:

6 miles
