Question

A runner is 7/8 mile from the finish line. If she can travel 3/8 mile per minute, how long will it take her to finish the race?

Answer 1

It will take her 2 minutes and 20 seconds to finish the race trust me don't believe the other guys answer

Answer 2

Distance to be covered by the runner is given as
`(7)/(8).` miles.

Speed of runner=
`(3)/(8).` miles per minute.

The Time taken can be calculated by the formula Time = Distance ÷speed.

Time taken =
`(7)/(8).` ÷
`(3)/(8).`

Time =
`(7)/(8) x (8)/(3) =(7)/(3).`

Time = 2.33 minutes = 2+(.33x60) [ 1 minute = 60 seconds]

Time = 2 minutes 20 seconds.
