Question

You run 5 miles in 1 hour. At this rate, how long will it take you to run a marathon (approximately 26 miles)?

I got 5 hours and 2 minutes and I'm not sure if I'm correct.​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 hours 12 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

You run 5 miles in 1 hour.

5 miles = 1 hour

1 mile = 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2 hour

1 mile = 0.2 hour

26 miles = 0.2 x 26 = 5.2 hours

5.2 hours = 5 hours + (0.2 x 60) mins

5.2 hours = 5 hours 12 mins

Answer 2

If the speed is 5 miles per hour. Then the time taken to complete marathon of 26 miles will be 5 hours and 12 minutes.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

You run 5 miles in 1 hour.

Then the speed will be

Speed = 5/1

Speed = 5 miles per hour

Then the time taken to complete marathon of 26 miles will be

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 26 / 5

Time = 5.2 hours

The time 5.2 hours can be written as 5 hours and 12 minutes.
