Question

If an endurance athlete jogs 9miles per hour. How many minutes does it take the athlete to jog 1.2 miles?

Answer 1

It takes the athlete 8 minutes to jog 1.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by athlete in one hour = 9 miles

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore;

9 miles distance is covered in 60 minutes.

9 miles = 60 minutes

1 mile = $\frac{60}{9}\ minutes$

1.2 miles = $\frac{60}{9}*1.2=\frac{72}{9}$

1.2 miles = 8 minutes

It takes the athlete 8 minutes to jog 1.2 miles.
