Mason found out that in order to be on the football team he has to be able to run 1 mile in 7 minutes. Mason computed this time, and found that he would need to run at a constant speed of 9 miles per hour to make the time. Is Mason correct? Explain your reasoning.

in order for mason to reach his target he would have to run for 1 hour and 3 minutes to complete his 9 miles therefore he is wrong.
9 times 7 = 63
