Elisa walked a certain distance at 5mih and then jogged twic
Elisa walked a certain distance at 5mi/h and then jogged twice that distance a 8 mi/h. Her total time walking and jogging was 2 hr and 15 min. How many miles did she walk?
 I am trying to use the formula time= distance/ rate
 I set d egual to distance walked at 5mi/h and 2d to distance walked at 8mi/hr
 d/5+2d/8=135
Solution
Let d=distance that Elisa walked
 Then 2d=distance that Elisa jogged
 Amount of time that Elisa walked=d/5
 Amount of time that Elisa jogged=2d/8
 Now we are told that the above two times add up to 2.25 hr, so:
 d/5 + 2d/8=2.25 multiply each term by 40
 8d+10d=90 or
 18d=90 divide each side by 18
 d=5 mi----------------distance Elisa walked
 2d=2*5=10 mi--------distance Elisa Jogged
 CK
 5/5 + 10/8 =2.25
 1 + 1.25=2.25
 2.25=2.25
