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.
