Sheldon is a long-distance runner he can run a mile in 6 4/5 minutes how many miles can he run in 30 minutes
I doooooont understaaaaaaaaaand
To find out how many miles Sheldon can run in 30 minutes, we need to divide the total time (30 minutes) by his running time per mile.
Sheldon's running time per mile is 6 4/5 minutes, or in decimal form, 6.8 minutes.
So, to calculate the number of miles Sheldon can run in 30 minutes, we divide 30 by 6.8:
30 minutes ÷ 6.8 minutes/mile = 4.41 miles
Therefore, Sheldon can run approximately 4.41 miles in 30 minutes.
To find out how many miles Sheldon can run in 30 minutes, we need to determine the number of miles he can run in 1 minute and then multiply that by 30.
First, let's convert the mixed number 6 4/5 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (6) by the denominator (5), and then add the numerator (4). This gives us (6 * 5) + 4 = 30 + 4 = 34.
So, Sheldon can run 34/5 (or 6 and 4/5) miles in 1 minute.
To find out how many miles he can run in 30 minutes, we multiply the number of miles he can run in 1 minute by 30.
(34/5) * 30 = (34 * 30) / 5
To simplify this fraction, we multiply the numerator by the whole number (34 * 30 = 1020).
1020/5 = 204
Therefore, Sheldon can run approximately 204 miles in 30 minutes.
6.8 min / 1 mile
30 min * 1 mile/6.8 min = 4.41 miles
