Question

jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds. At this rate, how many minutes does it take him to run a mile? (1 mile = 1,760 yards).​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds

using proportion

Find out how many minutes does it take him to run a 1.760 yards (one mile)

$\frac{440}{75}=\frac{1,760}{x}\\\\x=1,760(75)/440\\\\x= 300\ sec$

Convert seconds to  minutes

Divide by 60

$300\ sec=300/60=5\ min$
