Question

Keith ran in a marathon. It took him 3 hours and 2 minutes to run 26 miles. If he ran at the same rate for the whole race, how many minutes did it take him to run each mile? (1 hour = 60 minutes)

Answer 1

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Answer 2

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 26:182 = x:60 }\)

Solve this proportion :D

Answer 3

You'd want to solve 26:182 = 1:x

That gives the number of minutes per mile. Using x:60 will instead give you the number of miles run per 60 minutes.

Answer 4

Thank you!
