Answer 1

46 minutes.

Explanation:

2 km in 13 minutes would equal to 6 minutes and 30 seconds per km.

minutes: 6 x 7 = 42

seconds: 30 x 7 = 210

seconds pt 2: 210/60 = 3 minutes 30 seconds

adding altogether: 42 minutes + 3 minutes 30 seconds + 45 minutes 30 seconds, rounded would equal to 46 minutes
