Important Info:
Leslie Ran 3 Mile Race.
2nd Mile = 10% longer than 1st and 3rd Miles took her 24s longer than 2nd Mile
Question to Answer:
Leslie’s total time for the race was 26 minutes how long did the second mile take her?
Explanation/Solution:
Let for first mile, she took x minutes . And second mile took her 10 percent longer, so second mile took
x+ 10/100x = 110/100x=1.1x
And the third mile took 24 seconds longer as compared to second mile .
So third mile took
1.1x+24/60 = (1.1x+0.4) Minutes
And the total time for the race was 26 minutes, that is
x+1.1x+1.1x+0.4=26
3.2x=26-0.4
3.2x=25.6
x= 25.6/3.2 = 8 Minutes
So the first mile took 8 minutes. And therefore second mile took
= 1.1 (8) = 8.8 Minutes
Also Equal to 528 Second.
