hugo just joined the cross country team and can run at a rate of 1/7 miles each minute. how long will it take him to run a 5-mile race

Answer 1

Running at a rate of 1/7 mile per minute is equivalent to running 1 mile in 7 minutes.

Using this information, we can determine how long it will take to run 5 miles by multiplying the time to go 1 mile by 5:

1 mile • 5 = 5 miles

7 minutes • 5 35 minutes

It will take Hugo 35 minutes to run a 5-mile race.
