Question

It took Jimena 89 minutes to run a 15-kilometer race last weekend. If you know that 1 kilometer equals 0.621 mile, how many minutes did it take Jimena to run 1 mile during the race? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

3.68 minutes
9.55 minutes
9.88 minutes
24.15 minutes

Answer 1

The answer would be 9.55 minutes because you would first want to convert the kilometers to miles by doing 15 x .621 = 9.315. Then, you would divide the total time (89 minutes) by 9.315 to get the total time per mile.

Hope this helped :)
