Question

Caroline runs 3 1/2 miles in 22 1/4 minutes. How many miles does she run per minute?

A. 3/22
B. 62/221
C. 14/89
D. 4/39

Answer 1

For calculating this, you should divide minutes value from miles

It would be 3 1/2 / 22 1/4 = 7/2 / 89/4

you can write it as:

7/2 * 4/89 = 14/89

SO, OPTION C is your answer

Answer 2

Answer:- C is the right option.Distance in miles she traveled per minute=
`=(14)/(89)\ miles\ per\ minute`

Explanation:-

Given: Distance traveled by Caroline
`=3(1)/(2)\ miles=(7)/(2)\ miles`

Time taken
`=22(1)/(4)\ minutes=(89)/(4)\ minutes`

Distance in miles she traveled per minute
`=(distance)/(time)\\=((7)/(2))/((89)/(4))\\\\=(7*4)/(89*2)\\\\=(14)/(89)\ miles\ per\ minute`

Therefore, Distance in miles she traveled per minute=
`=(14)/(89)\ miles\ per\ minute`
