Answer:

1 hour 24 minutes

Explanation:

So you can run 5 miles in one hour. Let's find how many minutes it takes you to run one mile.

We do this by dividing 60 by 5.

60/5 = 12

Therefore, it takes you 12 minutes to run 1 mile.

Multiply 12 by 7 to get how long it will take you to run 7 miles.

(12)(7) = 84 minutes

Or an hour and 24 minutes.

That's odd that the answer is not 1.4 minutes because 24/60 is .4 and you would add that onto the hour.

If you put in an 1 hour 24 minutes and it still says its wrong then ask your teacher about it.

I hope this helps!!
