Question

Mary ran 4 miles in 37 minutes. If she continued at the same pace, how long would it take her to run 11 miles?

Answer 1

Solution:

we are given that

Mary ran 4 miles in 37 minutes.

we have been asked to find

how long would it take her to run 11 miles?

Since Mary ran 4 miles in 37 minutes, it mean time taken to run 1 miles can be given by

$t_{1 \ mile}=\frac{37}{4} \ minutes.$

Hence we can write , time taken in running 11 miles as

$t_{11 \ mile}=\frac{37}{4}*11 \ minutes.\\ \\ t_{11 \ mile}=\frac{407}{4} \ minutes\\ \\ t_{11 \ mile}=101.75 \ minutes$
