Question

Ryan runs 4 miles in 29 minutes. How many miles does he run per minute?It takes 91 pounds of seed to completely plant an 11 -acre. How many pounds of seed are needed per acre?Round answers to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

We are told that Ryan runs 4 miles in 29 minutes. to determine the number of miles per minutes we need to divide the number of miles by the number of minutes, like this:

`\frac{4miles}{29\text{ min}}=0.14\text{ miles/min}`

The same procedure can be used to solve the second question.
