    a) t = 56.34 minutes

    b) v = 5.32mph

    c) t = 47.22 minutes

    d) v = 6.35 mph

    Explanation:

    Given;

    The speed of Ilya and Anya are

    Run = 8.90mph

    Walk = 3.80mph

    distance = 5.00 miles

    a) anya walk half the distance and run half the distance.

    Speed = distance/time

    time = distance/speed

    t1 = 5*0.5/3.80 = 0.658hr

    t2 = 5*0.5/8.90 = 0.281hr

    t = t1 + t2 = 0.658+0.281 = 0.939hr * 60minutes/hr

    t = 56.34 minutes

    b) average speed = total distance/total time taken

    v = 5.00miles/0.939hr = 5.32mph

    c) Ilya walk half the time and run half the time.

    t1 = t2 = t/2

    Distance = speed * time

    Substituting the values.

    5 = 3.80 (t/2) + 8.90 (t/2)

    5 = 12.70 (t/2)

    t = 10/12.70

    t = 0.787 hr * 60 minutes/hr

    t = 47.22 minutes

    d) average speed = 5miles/0.787hr

    v = 6.35 mph
