Answer 1

To determine how many miles Eddie and Rover will jog in 2 hours at a pace of 10 minutes per mile, we first need to convert the time into minutes.

2 hours = 2 × 60 minutes = 120 minutes.

Next, we can find out how many miles they can jog at a pace of 10 minutes per mile:

Number of miles = Total time in minutes / Minutes per mile Number of miles = 120 minutes / 10 minutes per mile = 12 miles.

Therefore, Eddie and Rover will jog a total of 12 miles.
