Question

Geri ran in a marathon race. It took her 3 hours and 28 minutes to run 26 miles. How many minutes did it take her to run 1 mile if she ran at the same rate for a whole race? (1 hour = 60 minutes)

Answer 1

Answer:

8/mile   = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

convert hours to minutes. 3 hours, 28 minutes converted to minutes is...

3*60   (60 minutes in an hour)

=180

180+28   (don't forget to add what was already converted to minutes!)

=208

208/26  (divide time by distance ran)

=8    (8 minutes per mile)
