Question

John ran the 100-m dash with a time of 9.93 sec. If this pace could be maintained for an entire 26-mile marathon, what would his time be?

Answer 1

First off how many meters are in a mile?

Answer 2

1,609

Answer 3

ok so take the total meters 1,609 and divide it by 100m how many do you get

Answer 4

16.09

Answer 5

ok now you take that number and multiply it by the time for his 100 meter run

Answer 6

his time being 9.93

Answer 7

0k, 159.7737

Answer 8

ok now what does that number equal

Answer 9

or i should say what does that number represent?

Answer 10

that would be a little of 2 hours?

Answer 11

sorry, a little over 2 hours

Answer 12

it is his mile time so if he were to run a 26 mile race you would have to take his mile time (159.73) times 26 then divide that number by 60 to git the time down to the minuets.

Answer 13

I need to provide the hour, minutes, and seconds. The hour is 1. I have that correct, but not the minutes or seconds. I hate math!

Answer 14

that is 159.73 seconds

Answer 15

I multiplied that by 26 and divided by 60. I got 69.21. I divided that again by 60 and got 1.15.

Answer 16

I was told I have the first half of the answer right which is 1 hour, but not minutes or seconds.

Answer 17

what would 1.15 hours break down to ?

Answer 18

It said the answer was 1 hr. 9 mins. and 15 seconds. I got it wrong, so it gave me a whole new problem to work on. Though it is a similar problem to the one we just worked on.

Answer 19

well 1.15 hours breaks down to 1 hour and nine minuets because 9 minuets would be .15 of a hour

Answer 20

what is the new problem

Answer 21

Still a 100 m dash with a time 9.84, how much time take for a 26 mile marathon?

Answer 22

So far, I took 16.09 and multiplied it by 9.84 which equals 158.32. Then I multiplied that by 26 and divided by 60 which equals 68.60. I divided that by 60 again which equals 1.14.

Answer 23

Which would equal out to 1 hour 8 minutes and 4 seconds? Right?

Answer 24

im checking

Answer 25

8 minuets 24 second because when you multiply the hour 60 by .14 you get 8.4so 8 minuets and .4 of a minuet so then you multipy 60 by .4 and get 24

Answer 26

so final answer 8 min 24 seconds

Answer 27

ok, it said the first and second answers were correct but not the third

Answer 28

what was the firs and second answers? and are you on apex or some computer learning?

Answer 29

1 hour, 8 minutes...my math lab for pre-calculus algebra...it shows you an example similar to the problem you are working on, but I still could not seem to figure it out. With the way you are explaining it, I understand how to figure it out better.

Answer 30

ok i am glad i could help. they could be rounding to the nearest minuet.

Answer 31

Ok, I have on more opportunity to answer correctly before it gives me a new problem.

Answer 32

what is the problem? and are there multiple choice answers for each question

Answer 33

This is the message that popped up when I got it wrong....Your first and second answers are correct, but your third answer is wrong. First, we need to have a common measure of distance. We can do this by expressing 26 miles and 100 meters in feet. We know 1 meters=3.281 ft and 1 mi=5280 ft. Let x= time he runs the marathon in seconds. Use the fact that the rate remains the same and write and equation. To find the number of minutes, divide the time in seconds by 60 since there are 60 seconds in a minute. In a similar way, find the number of hours by dividing the number of minutes by 60 since, since 1 hr = 60 mins.

Answer 34

It is the same problem we have been working on. I have three opportunities to answer the question correctly before it counts the question wrong and then I can choose to get a similar question.

Answer 35

so we have already gotten it right?

Answer 36

no, im a still wrong when comes to the seconds

Answer 37

The answer was 1 hr 8 mins and 37 secs.

Answer 38

I was litterally just about to say that

Answer 39

I am hoping that 3rd times a charm.

Answer 40

Holy pellet! I got it right!

Answer 41

Thanks again for all your help!! I really appreciate it!
