To find where Joe stopped walking, we need to determine the total distance he jogged and the total distance he walked.
Joe jogged 4.3 miles west and then jogged 158 miles east, for a total of 4.3 + 158 = 162.3 miles jogged.
Since Joe walked half the remaining distance, we need to find half of the distance that remains after jogging 162.3 miles.
To find the remaining distance, we subtract the distance jogged from the total distance Joe traveled. Joe jogged 162.3 miles, so the remaining distance is 162.3 - 162.3 = 0 miles.
Since Joe walked half the remaining distance, he walked 0/2 = 0 miles.
Therefore, relative to his starting point, Joe didn't stop walking anywhere.
Joe jogs 4.3 miles west before turning around and jogging 158
miles east. He walks half the remaining distance to his starting point before taking up jogging again.
Relative to his starting point, where did Joe stop walking?
