Question

Running Russell runs 9/10 mile in 5 minutes. How many miles does he run in one minute?

Answer 1

Answer:

Russell runs 9/50 of a mile or 0.18 miles in one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Distance run by Russell = 9/10 of a mile

Time Russell runs 9/10 of a mile = 5 minutes

2. How many miles does he run in one minute?

Speed of Russell = Distance run by Russell / Time Russell runs

Speed of Russell = (9/10) / 5

Speed of Russell = 9/10 * 1/5 = 9/50

Russell runs 9/50 of a mile in one minute. If we want to express the answer in decimals, we have : 9/50 = 0.18

Russell runs 9/50 of a mile or 0.18 miles in one minute
