Answer:
The time taken to complete her run is 1.9 hr.
Explanation:
Speed is a scalar quantity and it is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. As distance is also a scalar quantity, so the directions given in the problem can be ignored. Thus, the distance covered by the jogger is the sum of kilometers given in problem.
Distance covered = 6+5+4 = 15 km
And the speed is given as 8 km/hr.
So the time taken will be ratio of distance to speed.
So the jogger will take 1.9 hr to complete her run.
