Final answer:

To find how many miles Russell can run in one minute, divide the total distance he can run in 5 minutes by 5. Russell can run 9/50 of a mile in one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many miles Russell can run in one minute, we need to divide the total distance he can run in 5 minutes by 5. Russell runs ⅙ mile in 5 minutes, so to find how many miles he can run in one minute, we divide ⅙ by 5.

  1. First, convert the mixed fraction ⅙ to an improper fraction. ⅙ is equal to 9/10.
  2. Divide the numerator (9) by the denominator (10) to get 9/10.
  3. Now, divide 9/10 by 5 to find the distance Russell can run in one minute.

So, Russell can run 9/50 of a mile in one minute.
