the team member jog?

Answer 1

Answer:

In 3.5 hours, the team member jogged for 21 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of jogging = 6 miles per hour

So, the app. distance covered by jogger in 1 hour =  6 miles

Now, the total time jogger ran in weekend  = 3.5 hour.

So, the total distance covered by jogger  

= 3.5 hours x ( Distance covered in 1 hour)

= (3.5) x ( 6 miles)  = 21 miles

or, the total distance covered by team member is 21 miles.

Hence, in 3.5 hours, the team member jogged for 21 miles.
