Answer:

8 minutes per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Geri ran in a marathon race.

It took her 3 hours and 28 minutes to run 26 miles.

1 hour = 60 minutes

we will convert the time into minutes

3 hour 28 minutes = (3 × 60) + 28

= 180 + 28

= 208 minutes

∵ Geri ran 26 miles in 208 minutes

∴ She ran 1 miles = $\frac{208}{26}$

= 8 minute

Geri ran 1 mile in 8 minute.

5 0

1 hour = 60 minutes, so 3 hours = 3 * 60 = 180 minutes.

Her total time was 3 hours and 28 minutes, so 180 + 28 = 208 minutes.

Divide her total time by total miles run:

208 minutes / 26 miles = 8 minutes per mile.
