Question

A runner completed a 26.2-mile marathon in 210 minutes. a. Estimate the unit rate, in miles per minute. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a mile.

Answer 1

Answer:

Unit rate by which the runner completed the marathon is 0.13 miles per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

A runner competed a marathon of 26.2 miles in 210 minutes.

we can get unit rate by unitary method.

∵ In 210 minutes a runner completes the distance = 26.2 miles

∴ In 1 minute runner will complete the distance = $\frac{26.2}{210}$

                                                                              = 0.125 miles per minute

                                                                              ≈ 0.13 miles per minute

Therefore, unit rate by which the runner completed the marathon is 0.13 miles per minute.
