Mary ran 4 miles in 37 minutes. If she continued at the same pace, how long would it take her to run 11 miles?
Movin' on up!
To find out how long it would take Mary to run 11 miles at the same pace, we first need to determine her pace in minutes per mile.
The pace can be calculated by dividing the total time (in minutes) by the total distance (in miles).
So, Mary's pace in minutes per mile is 37 minutes / 4 miles = 9.25 minutes per mile.
Now, we can use the pace to calculate the time it would take Mary to run 11 miles.
Time = Distance × Pace
To find the time in minutes, we multiply the distance (11 miles) by the pace (9.25 minutes per mile).
Time = 11 miles × 9.25 minutes per mile
Simplifying the calculation,
Time = 101.75 minutes
Therefore, if Mary continued at the same pace, it would take her approximately 101.75 minutes to run 11 miles.
