Chapter 46 aside


To help further, pose this question to yourself: Let's say that you are able to walk at a pace of 30 minutes / mile, or jog at a pace of 10 minutes / mile.  What would be your average pace under the following two scenarios?

  • You walk 2 miles, and then run 2 miles.  Your average pace per mile is _________ minutes.
  • You walk for 60 minutes, and then run for 60 minutes.  Your average pace per mile is ____________ minutes.
Work out the two answers.  Does this change your idea of the average between 10 and 30?  Which scenario corresponds to chapter 40, and which to chapter 46?
