Answer 1

8.9 minutes

Explanation:

Converting Everly Kilometer race to miles

1 km = 0.621 miles

10 km =

10 × 0.621 miles

= 6.21 miles

Hence,

6.21 miles = 55 minutes

1 mile = x minutes

Cross Multiply

6.21 × x = 55 × 1

x = 55 minutes/6.21

x = 8.8566827697 minutes

Approximately = 8.9 minutes
