Answer 1

She needs to finish in 48.7 percent of the time it normally takes her

Explanation:

6th grade math problem

swim 15 minutes 45 seconds

bike ride 45 minutes

She want to complete the 3 events in 70 minutes

swim + bike + run = 70

15 minutes 45 seconds + 45 minutes + run = 70 minutes

Combine like terms

60 minutes 45 seconds + run = 70 minutes

Subtract 60 minutes 45 seconds from each side

60 minutes 45 seconds - 50 minutes 45 seconds + run = 70 minutes - 60 minutes 45 seconds

run = 9 minutes 15 seconds

Her training run was 19 minutes

The percent of time she needs to take is time to finish / training run time

percent = 9 minutes 15 seconds/ 19 minutes

We need to put this in minutes. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute

9 minutes 15 seconds = 9 minutes 15/60 = 9.25 minutes

percent = 9.25 minutes / 19 minutes

percent = .486842105

percent = 48.7 percent

She needs to finish in 48.7 percent of the time it normally takes her
