Answer:

To run 1 mile it will take 1/3 of an hour or 20 minutes

Explanation:

We can use ratios. Take the number of miles and divide by the number of hours

3 miles 1 miles

------------- = -------------

1 hours x hours

Using cross products

3x = 1 * 1

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 1/3

x = 1/3 hours

We know 1 hour = 60 minutes

1/3 of 1 hours = 1/3 *60 = 20 minutes

To run 1 mile it will take 1/3 of an hour or 20 minutes
