In order to find the distance covered in 1 minute, we need to divide distance covered 2 1/6 miles by 20 minutes.We are given : Ariel swims 2 1/6 miles in every 1/3 hour.
Let us convert 1/3 hour into minutes.
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
Therefore, 1/3 hours = 60 × 1/3 = 20 minutes.
So, we could say, "Ariel swims 2 1/6 miles in every 20 minutes".
2 1/6÷ 20 = 13/6 ÷ 20.
Let us convert division sign into multiplication and flip 20 to 1/20.
We get
<h3>13/6 × 1/20 = 13/120 miles in 1 minute.</h3><h3>In decimal 0.11 mile in 1 minute.</h3>
