Question

Oleg ran 8.8 miles in 1 hour and 20 min. Assuming he continues at a constant rate ,how long will it take him to run any number of miles?

Answer 1

Calculate his running rate in miles per hour:-

1 hour and 20 minutes = 4/3 hours.

His mph = 8.8 / 4/3 = 8.8 * 3/4 = 6.6 mph

Time = distance / rate

Time to run any number of miles ( n miles) = n / 6.6
