Mary can run a mule in 11.2 minutes. How long will it take her to run 9.5 miles at that speed?
9.5 * 11.2 = ?
Is this correct 106.4
Yes. It will take her 106.4 minutes or 1.7733 hours to run that distance.
Thank you Ms. Sue 😊
You're welcome, Amy.
To determine how long it will take Mary to run 9.5 miles at a speed of 11.2 minutes per mile, we can set up a proportion.
A proportion is an equation where two ratios are equal. In this case, the ratios are the time it takes Mary to run a certain distance and the distance itself.
Let's assume that x represents the time it will take Mary to run 9.5 miles. We can set up the proportion as follows:
11.2 minutes / 1 mile = x minutes / 9.5 miles
To solve for x, we can use cross-multiplication:
11.2 minutes * 9.5 miles = x minutes * 1 mile
106.4 minutes = x
So, it will take Mary approximately 106.4 minutes to run 9.5 miles at a speed of 11.2 minutes per mile.
