Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is option (c), no he will not pass because he is running 4.8 miles in 35 minutes

Explanation:

This can be expressed as;

Speed=Distance/Time

where;

Distance to be covered=5 kilometers

Time=35 minutes

replacing;

speed=(5/35)=0.143 km/min

In order to pass the fitness test his speed has to be greater than 0.143 km/min

Determine if 3 miles per 35 minutes is greater than 0.143 km/min

I mile=1.6 kilometers

How many kilometers make 3 miles,

Jimmy runs=(3×1.6)=4.8 kilometers in 35 minutes

Speed=4.8/35=0.137 kilometers/minute

Speed jimmy runs (0.137 km/min)<the pace he needs to run to pass fitness test(0.143 km/min)

The answer is option (c), no he will not pass because he is running 4.8 miles in 35 minutes
