Answer:

12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]s_1 = 10mi/h[/tex] --- walk speed

[tex]s_2 = 20mi/h[/tex] --- jog speed

[tex]d = 2\ miles[/tex] --- distance

Required

The time to walk the given distance

Time is calculated as:

[tex]Time = \frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

In this case, the speed is the speed at which she walks.

So, we have:

[tex]Time = \frac{d}{s_1}[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]Time = \frac{2mi}{10mi/h}[/tex]

[tex]Time = 0.2hr[/tex]

Convert to minutes

[tex]Time = 0.2 * 60mins[/tex]

[tex]Time =12mins[/tex]
