in track practice jesse ran a mile in 7 minutes. his mile time was 2.5 times faster than michaels time. write and solve an equation to calculate michaels mile time.
Jessie time 7 minute
Michael’s time is 2.5 times slower
Divide 7 minutes by 2.5 to get answer
Jesse = 7
Michael = 2.5 X
7 = 2.5 X
7/2.5 X = 17.5 to check answer divide 17.5 by the 2.5, your answer is 7.

-2=n+5
To solve this problem, let's denote Michael's mile time as "x" minutes.
According to the given information, Jesse's mile time is 2.5 times faster than Michael's time. So, Jesse's mile time would be 2.5x minutes.
We are told that Jesse ran a mile in 7 minutes. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
2.5x = 7
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 2.5:
x = 7 / 2.5
Now, simply calculate the division:
x = 2.8
Hence, Michael's mile time is 2.8 minutes.
