alright cool

We know his time and speed, we need to find his distance(d) 

Start off by finding his time using the formula: d = r*t

-----------
d = 1.5*87,
d = 130.5 
-----------
d = 2.25*130.5
d = 293.7
-----------
d = 3*174
d 522 
_____________


So we know the distance for his 1, 2, and 3rd log.
