To convert miles per hour to miles per minute, we need to divide the speed by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour. So, Kyle's speed in miles per minute would be:


\begin{align}\frac{6 \text{ miles/hour}}{60 \text{ minutes/hour}} &= \frac{1 \text{ mile/minute}}\end{align}

Now that we know Kyle's speed in miles per minute, we can use it to calculate how long it would take him to run 3 miles:


\begin{align}\text{Time} &amp;= \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \ &amp;= \frac{3 \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ mile/minute}} \</p><p>&amp;= 3 \text{ minutes}\end{align}

Therefore, it would take Kyle 3 minutes to run 3 miles at an average speed of 6 miles per hour.
