Question

at 9 a.m. you have run 2 miles. at 9:24 a.m. you have run 5 miles. what is your running rate in minutes per mile?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the time elapsed

From 9 A.M. to 9:24 A.M., the time elapsed is 24 minutes.

Step2: Calculate the distance run

The distance run is \( 5 - 2 = 3 \) miles.

Step3: Calculate the running rate

The running rate (minutes per mile) is the total time divided by the total distance, so \( \frac{24}{3} = 8 \) minutes per mile.

Answer:

8 minutes per mile
