    Margo walks 1 mile

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that;

    Margo walks to her friend's house in 10 minutes.

    Using the same route, it takes Margo 20 minutes to get back home.

    Total walking rate = 20 + 10 = 30 minutes

    The average of her walking rate for the entire trip is 4 miles per hour

    i. e 30/2 minutes = 4 miles/hr

    15 minutes = 4 miles/hr

    Let x be the total number of miles that Margo walk;

    So;

    15 minutes * x = 4 miles/hr

    15 minutes * x = 4 miles / 60 minutes

    x = (4 miles / 60 minutes) * 15 minutes

    x = 1 mile

    Thus, Margo walks 1 mile
