What time does Mike finish his run?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

12:54 PM

Explanation:

Since for 1 mile it takes Mike 12 minutes then for 7 miles, if he maintains his speed he will take 7*12=84 minutes

Conversion

If 1 hour has 60 minutes then 84 minutes has 84-60=24

1 hour and 24 minutes

Since he starts at 11:30 am, he finishes after 1 hour and 24 minutes then the time of finish will be

11:30+1:24=12:54

The time of finish will 12:54 pm
