We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation: There’s a cool website called math-way all you need to do is put in the question correctly and put in how you want it solved. For example, if you want it graphed you put in Graph. PS. It’s free!!
