Question

Allen runs 8 miles in three hours at a steady pace how long does it take him to run 3 miles

Answer 1

First find the speed...
8 miles per 3 hrs

8/3 = 2 2/3 m/hr

2 2/3 m/hr × x/3 m =
2 2/3 ÷ 3 = x
8/3 ÷ 3 = x
8/3 × 1/3 = x
8/9 = x

It takes 8/9 of an hour to run 3 miles. Multiply 8/9 × 60 to find out how many minutes.

8/9 × 60 = 53.33 minutes
