Question

Roger is training for a half-marathon. The course is 13.1 miles long. Let p represent Roger's average pace in minutes per mile. Write and solve an inequality to show the average pace needed to finish the half marathon in less than 2 hours. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The answer is

Explanation:

Pace = minute/mile

Length = 13.1miles

Time required to finish course < 2hours

2hours = 120 minutes

Therefore time required to finish course < 120 minutes

Length x pace < time required

13.1p < 120

p < 120/13.1

p < 9.16 minutes per mile (to the nearest hundredth)
