Distance to his home: 9,600 m

Distance jogged by Issa: 6,400 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how far Issa's home is.

Issa jogged 2/3 of the way home from school and then he was tired, so he walked the remaining 3,200 m.

This means that 3,200 m is 1/3 of the distance to his home.

Therefore, the distance to Issa's home can be calculated by simply multiplying 3200 by 3:

3200 * 3 = 9,600 m

To find how far he jogged, we multiply 9,600 m by 2/3:

2/3 * 9600 = 6,400 m
