Question

Jerome's average speed for walking is 13 minutes and 40 seconds per mile. He will be walking for a fundraiser a total of 12 miles. Based on his average speed, how long should it take him to finish?​

Answer 1

Answer:

164 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that Jerome's seed is maintained, we say that for every 1 mile, he takes 13 minutes and 40 seconds which is equivalent to$13\frac {2}{3}$ since 1 minute has 60 seconds hence $\frac {40}{60}$=$\frac {2}{3}$

Now if

1 mile = $13\frac {2}{3}$

12 miles=??

We cross multiply hence 12\times$13\frac {2}{3}=164$

Therefore, Jerome needs 164 minutes, equivalent to 2 hours 44 minutes
