anonymous · Answer

I can solve them once I know how to set them up but I'm not sure how to do that exactly

anonymous · Answer

first find out how long it take you to go 1 mile

you know you can go 2 miles in 15, so im sure you can figure out how long it takes to go 1 mile

anonymous · Answer

Once you find how long it takes you to go 1 mile, simply multiply that by the total amount of miles and walah

anonymous · Answer

7.5 mins

anonymous · Answer

you are trying to find out how long is going to take you to run the marathon, , if you can run 2 miles in 15 mins., you have to divide the mins by it's half, so it would be 7.5, 7.5x=26 is your equation

anonymous · Answer

Ok thanks!

anonymous · Answer

oh my bad, the equation is 7.5x, then you have to multiply it by 26

anonymous · Answer

you get 195 mins, so that's your answer

anonymous · Answer

The equation is 1(mile)/7.5(minutes) = 26(miles)

anonymous · Answer

If the marathon is 26 miles and they already tell us how long it took her to run 2 then wouldn't it be 24?

anonymous · Answer

it would be 3 hours and 15 mins

anonymous · Answer
