Solution

Primero, determinemos el tiempo que Jamie tardó en llegar a la escuela. Ella salió de casa a las 7:01 a.m. y llegó a las 7:21 a.m., lo que significa que el viaje duró 20 minutos.

Convertimos 20 minutos a horas: 20 minutos=2060 horas=13 horas 20 \text{ minutos} = \frac{20}{60} \text{ horas} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ horas}

Sabemos que su velocidad promedio fue de 12 km/h. Usamos la fórmula de distancia: Distancia=Velocidad×Tiempo \text{Distancia} = \text{Velocidad} \times \text{Tiempo} Distancia=12 km/h×13 horas=4 km \text{Distancia} = 12 \text{ km/h} \times \frac{1}{3} \text{ horas} = 4 \text{ km}

Ahora, determinemos el tiempo que Jamie tardó en regresar a casa. Ella salió de la escuela a la 1:20 p.m. y su velocidad promedio fue 2 km/h más lenta que su velocidad inicial, es decir, 10 km/h.

Usamos la misma fórmula de distancia para encontrar el tiempo de regreso: Distancia=Velocidad×Tiempo \text{Distancia} = \text{Velocidad} \times \text{Tiempo} 4 km=10 km/h×Tiempo 4 \text{ km} = 10 \text{ km/h} \times \text{Tiempo} Tiempo=4 km10 km/h=0.4 horas \text{Tiempo} = \frac{4 \text{ km}}{10 \text{ km/h}} = 0.4 \text{ horas}

Convertimos 0.4 horas a minutos: 0.4 horas=0.4×60 minutos=24 minutos 0.4 \text{ horas} = 0.4 \times 60 \text{ minutos} = 24 \text{ minutos}

Jamie salió de la escuela a la 1:20 p.m. y tardó 24 minutos en llegar a casa. Sumamos 24 minutos a la 1:20 p.m.: 1:20 p.m.+24 minutos=1:44 p.m. 1:20 \text{ p.m.} + 24 \text{ minutos} = 1:44 \text{ p.m.}

Por lo tanto, Jamie llegó a casa a la 1:44 p.m.
