Sally leaves her house and jogs along a straight road. After one hour she has gone 4 miles. Then, Sally slows to a brisk walk at a constant rate. After the first hour of walking in the same direction, Sally is 6.5 miles from her house. How many miles from her house will she be after two more hours of walking?

11.5 mi.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you figure out how much miles Sally has gone by walking.

6.5-4=2.5 mi.

You use the distance formula: d(distance)=r(rate)xt(time)

2.5 mi.=Rx1 hr.

rate=2.5 mi/hr.

To figure out how many miles Sally will be from her house after two more hours of walking, you use the distance formula again.

d=2.5mi/hrx2 hr.

d=5.0 mi(2.5x2)

6.5mi+5.0mi=11.5 mi total

three-fourths of an hour

36÷48=0.75

0.75=
