It took Xander 31 minutes to run a 5-kilometer race last weekend. If you know that 1 kilometer equals 0.621 mile, how many minutes did it take Xander to run 1 mile during the race? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 3.105min.

OpenStudy (.sammi.):

Ok so Xander runs 5km in 31 mins, how many minutes she could run in 1km? 5km=31mins \[1km=\frac{31}{5}mins\] \[1km=6.2mins\] This means it took Xander 6.2 mins to run 1km.

OpenStudy (.sammi.):

Now, we knew 1km=0.621miles and so 6.2mins=0.621miles. How many minutes will it take for Xander to run a mile? That would be \[0.621miles=6.2mins \\ \\ 1mile=\frac{6.2mins}{0.621}mins\]

OpenStudy (.sammi.):

\[1mile=?mins\]
