Kieth ran a marathon. It took 3 hours and 2 mins to run 26 miles. If he ran at the same rate for the whole race, how many minutes did it take him to run each mile?

It took him 7 minutes to run each mile.

Firstly, covert the time into minutes.
3 * 60 = 180 minutes
180 + 2 = 182 minutes

Now in order to find how long he ran each mile,
divide 182 by 26
182/26 = 7 minutes
