Anthony jogs 11 1/2 miles in 23 mins. If Anthony continues to jog at a steady pace, how many miles will he jog each minute?

frozen [14]

For this case we can raise a rule of three based on Anthony trotting $11 \frac {1} {2}$ miles in 23 minutes.

$11 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 11 + 1} {2} = \frac {23} {2}$

$\frac {23} {2}$ miles -----------> 23 minutes

x ----------------------------------------> 1minute

$x = \frac {\frac {23} {2} * 1} {23}\\x = \frac {\frac {23} {2}} {23}\\x = \frac {23} {2 * 23}\\x = \frac {1} {2}$

0.5 miles per minute
