Answer:

Elena's run for 1.17 miles in ten minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

y = 8.5 x ; where x is Distance in miles, and y is time in minutes

and y= 10 minutes

thus on substituting the respected values we get

10 = 8.5 x

⇒ x = $\frac{10}{8.5}$ = 1.17 miles

Therefore Elena's run for 1.17 miles in ten minutes
