Answer:
11 1/3 minutes per mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 miles jogged in 8 1/2 minutes.
So 1 mile jogged in: 8 1/2 divided by 3/4 = 8 1/2 x 4/3 = (17 x 4) / (2 x 3) = 11 1/3 minutes per mile
Answer:
x = 11 1/3 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a ratio to solve
3/4 mile 1 mile
----------------- = --------------
8 1/2 minutes x minutes
Using cross products
3/4 *x = 8 1/2
Multiply each side by 4/3
4/3 * 3/4x = 8 1/2 * 4/3
x = 17/2 * 4/3
x = 34/3
x = 11 1/3
