Question

Part C How many miles did Rob and Joey run? Did you have to regroup to find the answer? Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER IS THIS

1. Bob runs at a constant rate of 8 minutes per mile, thus in 50 minutes he can cover 50/8=6.25 miles.
2. Therefore the total round-trip distance Bob covers is 3.25+6.25=9.5 miles.
3. Half of that distance he runs south, so he runs 9.5/2=4.75 miles south, and since he has already run 3.25 miles, then he can run 4.75-3.25=1.5 miles farther
