Question

Georgina ran 3/8 mile in 3 minutes. How many miles does she run per minute?

Answer 1

In the given question we can see that the information,Georgina ran a distance of 3/8 mile in 3 minutes is already provided.
So
In 3 minutes Georgina can run a distance of = 3/8 miles
Then In 1 minute Georgina can run a distance of = 3/(8 * 3) miles
                                                                               = 3/24 miles
                                                                               = 1/8 miles.
So it can be said now that in 1 minute the distance that Georgina can cover is 1/8 miles. If required it can be converted to decimal value as well.

Answer 2

First, you would divide the 3/8 by 3 to get how many miles in 1 minute. 
3/8 by 3 is the same thing as 3/8 times 1/3. Which equals 1/8.
