Answer 1

Answer:
`1(5)/(9)\text{ minutes}`

Explanation:

Complete question is provided in the attachment below.

Given: Jacob and Issac decided to run to the basketball court

Distance between basketball court and school =
`5(1)/(4)` miles

`=(21)/(4)` miles

Speed =
`3(3)/(8)` miles per hour

`=(27)/(8)` miles per hour

Since, time = (distance) ÷ ( speed)

Now, the time taken by boys to arrive at the basketball court =
`(21)/(4)/(27)/(8)` hours

`=(21)/(4)*(8)/(27)\\\\=(7*2)/(9)=(14)/(9)\\\\=1(5)/(9)\text{ minutes}`

Hence, the required length of time =
`1(5)/(9)\text{ minutes}`
