Question

you run 1 mile in 8 minutes at a constant speed. How far do you run in 1 minute? write an equation to represent how far you can run in x minutes. Explain how you can use your equation to find how far you can run in 11 minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.125

0.125x = Distance Traveled in Miles

0.125 * 11 = 1.375 Miles Ran

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide 1 mile by 8 minutes

1 mi / 8 min = 0.125 mi

Then you simply show 0.125 * x (x being the number you insert to find the distance) = How far you ran

0.125x = Distance Traveled in Miles

Finally you insert 11 for x and multiply to find the distance

0.125 * 11 = 1.375 Miles Ran
