The total time for one way is 3 you divide that by half. The other half of the way he did half of 5. Add 1 1/2 (half of 3 miles per hour) plus 2 1/2 (half of the 5 miles per hour). Equals 4 miles

Wrong. It's,
distance = rate * time (d = rt)

total time (1 hour) = t1 + t2

t1 = time spent walking to school
t2 = time spent jogging home from school

t1 = d1/r1, r1 = 3 mph
t2 = d2/r2, r2 = 5 mph

t1 + t2 = d1/3 + d2/5 = 1 hour
d1 = d2 (The same route was traveled, so both distances are equal. d = length (or distance) of route)

(1/3 + 1/5)d = 8/15d = 1 hour

d = 15/8 = length of route one way
2d = 30/8 = total miles traveled in round trip = 3.75 miles
