Question

Tony runs 5 miles in 41 minutes. How many miles does he run per minute? Round answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

We will determine the number of miles he ran per minute as follows:

`x=(5mi\cdot1\min)/(41\min)\Rightarrow x=(5)/(41)mi\Rightarrow x\approx0.12mi`

So, he ran approximately 0.12 miles each minute.
