how far will you jog each week?
OA. 5.5 miles
B. 38.5 miles
C. 12.5 miles
D. 16.5 miles



Answer :

Let's break down the problem step by step.

1. Understanding the rate and time: You jog at a speed of 5.5 miles per hour. This means in one hour, you will cover 5.5 miles.

2. Weekly routine: You jog for one hour each session and you have three sessions per week.

3. Calculate the distance for one session: Since you jog for one hour at a speed of 5.5 miles per hour, the distance covered in one session is:
[tex]\[ \text{Distance per session} = 5.5 \text{ miles} \times 1 \text{ hour} = 5.5 \text{ miles} \][/tex]

4. Calculate the total distance for all sessions in a week: You jog three times a week, so the total distance jogged in a week is:
[tex]\[ \text{Total distance per week} = 5.5 \text{ miles/session} \times 3 \text{ sessions/week} = 16.5 \text{ miles/week} \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. 16.5 miles
