Question

Christine runs 5 miles in 46 minutes. How many minutes does she take per mile? If necessary, round the answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Hello!

We can solve this exercise using the rule of three:

`\begin{gathered} \frac{5\text{ miles}}{x\text{ miles}}=\frac{46\text{ minutes}}{1\text{ minute}} \\ \\ 46x=5 \\ x=(5)/(46) \\ \\ x\cong0.11\text{ miles per minute} \end{gathered}`
