Question

Chad runs 11 miles in 68 minutes. How many miles does he run per minute?

Answer 1

Hi Jessie,

 

Distance = rate * time

 

The formula above can be changed to find any one of the values when you know the other two

 

You want to find the rate (miles per minute)

 

rate = distance/time

 

the distance is 11 miles

 

the time in 68 minutes

 

rate = (11 miles)/(68 minutes)

 

rate = .1617 miles per minute

 

Hope this helps
