Answer:

12.8mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'w' represent her walking speed

->if her jogging speed is 8mph faster than her walking speed

Jogging speed=  w+8

Using the time equation i.e time = dist/speed

For walking when distance is 8miles

time = dist / speed= 8/w hrs

For jogging when distance is 13miles

time = dist / speed= 13/(w+8) hrs

Equating the time

jog time = walk time

13/(w+8) = 8/w

By cross multiplying it

13w = 8w + 64

5w = 64

w=64/5

w=12.8mph

Therefore, 12.8mph is her walking speed.
