Answer:

t = 8.82 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object is given bu the total distance covered divided by total time taken.

The average speed of a kid is 6.8 mi/h

Let t is the time taken by this kid to run a mile, d = 1 mile


v=(d)/(t)\\\\t=(d)/(v)\\\\t=\frac{1\ \text{miles}}{6.8\ \text{mi/h}}\\\\t=0.147\ \text{hour}

or

t = 8.82 minutes

So, it will take 8.82 minutes to run a mile.
