Question

Geri ran in marathon race it took her 3 hours and 28 mins to run 26 miles how many minutes did it take her to run 1 mile if she ran at the same rate for the whole race.

Answer 1

First, since we are looking for the answer in minutes per mile, we must convert the time into minutes. Since one hour is 60 minutes, we know that it took Geri 208 minutes to complete the 26 mile course. To find the number of miles Geri ran per minute, we simpy divide 26 by 208 and get 1 over 8 or 0.125 miles/minute

Hope this helps.
