Question

Amal can run 1/8 mile in 1 1/2 minutes if he can maintain that pace how long will it take him to run 1 mile

Answer 1

the answer would be 12 minutes to complete the mile.

Answer 2

Time taken to travel 1 mile =12 minutes

Explanation:

Amal can run 1/8 mile in 1 1/2 minutes.

`\texttt{Distance ran by Amal =}(1)/(8)miles`

`\texttt{Time taken =}1(1)/(2)=(1* 2+1)/(2)=(3)/(2)minutes`

We need to find how many minutes did he take to run one mile,

`\texttt{ He travels }(1)/(8)miles\texttt{ in }(3)/(2)minutes`

Time taken to travel 1 mile is given by

`t=(3)/(2)* (8)/(1)=12minutes`

Time taken to travel 1 mile =12 minutes
