To solve this problem you need to use the cross product method!

3 miles → 25.8 minutes
1 mile → × minutes


→ (25.8 • 1) ÷ 3 = × minutes

→ 25.8 ÷ 3 = × minutes

→ 8.6 = × minutes

So your answer is that it takes beth 8.6 minutes to run 1 mile!

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻
