Question

john ran at a pace of 3.5 miles per hr for a distance of 10.5 miles. how many minutes did it take them to run 10.5miles? use the distance formula: d= rt to where d is total distance, r is rate and t is time

Answer 1

d=rt

divide both-side of the equation by r

t =d/r

distance = 10.5 miles

we will go ahead and find the rate r

r = 3.5/60

r=0.05833

substituting into t= d/r

t = 10.5 / 0.05833

t=180 minutes
