Answer:
Parker ran 2.76 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
distance = speed x time
First, we have to convert 27 minutes and 39 seconds to minutes only we do this with 39/60 because then the seconds divide by total seconds and we can use it as a decimal
39/60 = .65
So it took 27.65 total minutes now we must convert it to hours, so that the 6 MILES per hour has matching terms, we do this by dividing 27.65 by 60 (theres 60 total minutes in an hour)
So it took 0.460833333 hours at a 6 mph pace, we can round this to 0.46
Now we can plug in the time and speed
Distance = 6mph x 0.46 hours
Distance = 2.76 miles
