Jan ran for 1 hour and 15 minutes. If Jan can run a mile in 7.5 minutes, how many miles did she run?

x / 75 = 1 / 7.5

7.5x = 75

x = 10 miles

To find out the number of miles Jan ran, we need to convert the time she ran into minutes.

Jan ran for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Since 1 hour equals 60 minutes, Jan ran for a total of 60 + 15 = 75 minutes.

Now, we can divide the total minutes Jan ran by the minutes it takes her to run one mile:

75 minutes ÷ 7.5 minutes/mile = 10 miles.

Therefore, Jan ran a total of 10 miles.

To find the number of miles Jan ran, we need to calculate the total time she ran in minutes and then divide it by the time it takes for her to run one mile.

First, we need to convert the 1 hour and 15 minutes into minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can calculate the total time as follows:

1 hour = 60 minutes

So, 1 hour and 15 minutes is equal to:

60 minutes + 15 minutes = 75 minutes

Now, we divide the total time of 75 minutes by the time it takes for Jan to run one mile, which is 7.5 minutes per mile:

75 minutes ÷ 7.5 minutes per mile = 10 miles

Therefore, Jan ran a total of 10 miles.
