Solving Equations and Word Problems

The video tutorial introduces a 'get fit' challenge where Mark exercises on a treadmill. The task is to determine the fractions of time he spent walking and jogging. The problem is modeled using two equations based on the given rates and total distance. The tutorial guides viewers through formulating these equations and solving them using substitution to find the time fractions for walking and jogging.

What was the main objective of Mark's treadmill exercise?

• To increase his running speed

• To set a new personal record

• To determine the total distance covered

• To find out the time spent on each activity
