Answer 2

Answer:

Time taken to travel 1 mile =12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Amal can run 1/8 mile in 1 1/2 minutes.

$\texttt{Distance ran by Amal =}\frac{1}{8}miles$

$\texttt{Time taken =}1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times 2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}minutes$

We need to find how many minutes did he take to run one mile,

$\texttt{ He travels }\frac{1}{8}miles\texttt{ in }\frac{3}{2}minutes$

Time taken to travel 1 mile is given by

           $t=\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{8}{1}=12minutes$

Time taken to travel 1 mile =12 minutes
