I live 3 miles away from the mall. I can run one mile in 6 minutes. How long will it take me to run to the mall?

Answer 1

For this problem we know that we can run one mile in 6 minutes. That means we run at a speed of 6 miles per minute. To find the number of minutes it takes to run three miles, divide you speed by the distance:

6 miles per minute / 3 miles = 2 minutes
