Answer 2

0.107 miles.

Explanation:

We have been given that Nathan takes 42 minutes to tread a distance of 4.5 miles on a treadmill.

To find average distance covered in one minute, we will divide total distance by total number of minutes.

`\text{Average distance covered in one minute}=\frac{4.5\text{ miles}}{42\text{ minutes}}`

`\text{Average distance covered in one minute}=\frac{0.107142857\text{ miles}}{\text{ minute}}`

`\text{Average distance covered in one minute}\approx \frac{0.107\text{ miles}}{\text{ minute}}`

Therefore, the average distance covered in one minute equals approximately 0.107 miles.
