Question

A runner is 6/8 mile from the finish line. If she can travel 3/8 mile per minute, how long will it take her to finish the race? Answer in a complete sentence.

Answer 1

it will take her 40 seconds to finish the race.

3/8 per minute, would make it 1/8 every 20 seconds. since she only has 2/8 of a mile left to go, 20 seconds +20 seconds = 40 seconds

(if you needed how long it takes her to run the whole race, it's 2 minutes 40 seconds, which would make her the fastest mile runner in the world)
