5.5 miles, and Kita has run 8.4 miles.
Part A

Part C
It took Simón 33 minutes to run
5.5 miles. Did he run faster or slower
than 1 mile every 5 minutes? How can
you tell?

Answer 1

Part A. 20.7

Part B. 6.9, 6.9, 6.9

Part C. Slower. 33/5.5= 6. 6 minutes is greater than 5 minutes so Simon ran slower than 1 mile every 5 minutes.
