Question

the graph shows the time and distance that a horse ran around a track if the horse runs at that same speed, how long will it take the horse to run 1.5 miles?​

Answer 1

Using the values given at the red dot, the horse ran 0.2 miles in 20 seconds.

Divide 1.5 miles by 0.2:

1.5 / 0.2 = 7.5

Multiply that number by 20 seconds:

7.5 x 20 = 150 seconds

1 minute = 60 seconds

150 / 60  = 2.5

It will take 2.5 minutes to run 1.5 miles
