Question

Mike can run a mile in 12 minutes. He starts at 11:30 AM. and runs 4 miles. What time does Mike finish his run at?

Answer 1

12:18 P.M

Explanation:

So the first thing I did was find out the amount of time it takes Mike to run 4 miles by multiplying 12 x 4 = 48

So Mike spends 48 minutes running the 4 miles.

Now we add 48 minutes to 11:30. So since there is no such thing as 11:78 I first subtracted the 30 minutes from the 48 minutes and added that to 11:30 which gave me 12:00 pm and then I just added the reamaining18 minutes.

which in conclusion means,

Mike will finish his 4 miles at 12:18 P.M

Answer 2

Answer: Mike stops running at 12:18 PM

Step-by-step explanation: We know he runs 1 mile each 12 minutes and we also knows he ran 4 miles so the equation is 12*4 or (12 times 4) which is equal to 48. We then add 38 minutes to 11:30 AM and end up at 12:18 PM.
