Answer:
Russell runs 9/50 of a mile or 0.18 miles in one minute.
Explanation:
1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:
Distance run by Russell = 9/10 of a mile
Time Russell runs 9/10 of a mile = 5 minutes
2. How many miles does he run in one minute?
Speed of Russell = Distance run by Russell / Time Russell runs
Speed of Russell = (9/10) / 5
Speed of Russell = 9/10 * 1/5 = 9/50
Russell runs 9/50 of a mile in one minute. If we want to express the answer in decimals, we have : 9/50 = 0.18
Russell runs 9/50 of a mile or 0.18 miles in one minute
