Question

It took Jaylon 27 minutes to run 3 miles. If he continued to run at the same rate, how far did he run in an hour

Answer 1

6.66 miles

Explanation:

Miles run in 27 minutes = 3 miles

Miles run in 1 minute = 3÷27 miles =
`(1)/(9)`

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore,

Miles run in 60 minutes =
`(1)/(9)` × 60

=
`(20)/(3)` miles OR 6.66 miles
