Question

Denise and Jacqueline are training for a swimming and running race.

Answer 1

Answer:

Jacqueline runs at 6.25 minutes per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have that the total training time for Jacqueline = 54 minutes

The time for which Jacqueline swims = 30 minutes

Therefore, the time in which Jacqueline runs = 54 min. - 30 min. = 20 minutes

Therefore the equation for Jacqueline's speed = Distance/Time we have

Jacqueline's pace = 3.2 miles/20 minutes = 0.16 miles/minute

Therefore Jacqueline's pace = 0.16 miles/minute

The equation for Jacqueline's pace in miles/minute is presented as follows

Jacqueline's pace in miles/minute = Time of running/Distance

Jacqueline's pace in miles/minute  = 1/0.16 miles/minute = 6.25 minutes/mile.
