sam is training for a cross country event. it takes her 56 minutes to run 8 miles. what is the rate of minutes per mile?
answers:
10 minutes/mile
7 minutes/mile
1/7 minutes/mile
To find the rate of minutes per mile, we can divide the total number of minutes it takes to run the distance by the number of miles.
In this case, Sam takes 56 minutes to run 8 miles. So, we divide 56 by 8:
56 minutes / 8 miles = 7 minutes/mile
Therefore, the rate of minutes per mile is 7 minutes/mile.
