Final answer:
Scott's running pace for a half-marathon in minutes per mile is calculated by converting the total distance run to miles and then dividing the total time in minutes by this distance, resulting in approximately 9.76 minutes per mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert Scott’s pace from a half-marathon (21.1 km) which he ran in 128 minutes to minutes per mile, we use the following steps:
- Firstly, convert kilometers to miles by using the conversion factor that 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.621371 miles. Multiplying 21.1 km by 0.621371 gives us the half-marathon distance in miles:
- 21.1 km * 0.621371 = 13.1091 miles.
- Next, to find the pace, we divide the total minutes by the number of miles:
- 128 minutes / 13.1091 miles = 9.76 minutes per mile.
This is Scott's average pace for running a half-marathon.
