Question

Bethany runs 5.4 miles around her neighborhood. She runs at a constant pace

for 60 minutes. How far does she run each minute?

Answer 1

0.09

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`5.4/60`

In order to find the answer, we will find the total miles ran, by the total amount of time Bethany spent running.


`5.4/60=0.09`

`=0.09`

Which means Bethany runs "0.09 of a mile each minute."

Check your work:

`0.09*60=5.4`

`=5.4`

Hope this helps.
