Sean runs 3one-half miles in 28 minutes. How long does it take him to run 1 mile?
A. 7 minutes
B. 98 minutes
C. 8 minutes
D. 4start fraction 2 over 3 end fraction minutes
To solve the problem, you need to divide the total time by the total distance.
First, you need to convert 3 1/2 miles to an improper fraction:
3 1/2 = 7/2
Then, you can set up the equation:
time / distance = total time
Let x be the time it takes Sean to run 1 mile:
x / 1 = 28 / (7/2)
Next, you can simplify the right side:
x = 28 * 2/7
x = 8 minutes
Therefore, the answer is C. It takes Sean 8 minutes to run 1 mile.
