ANSWER THEM ALL CORRECTLY PLEASE! 20 POINTS!
Kellie and her sister Ashley are training for a race. Kellie ran 8 miles in 72 minutes. Ashley ran 12 miles in 102 minutes.

(a) What is Kellie’s minute-per-mile pace?


(b) How far did Ashley run in 34 minutes?


(c) What was the difference in Kellie and Ashley’s times after they ran 4 miles?

Respuesta :

A. Kellie's minute-per-mile pace 9 minutes per mile.

To find this, divide her time (72 minutes) by the number of miles she went (8). 72 divided by 8 is 9 minutes per mile.

B. Ashley ran 4 miles in 34 minutes. First, divide Ashley's time (102 minutes) by the number of miles she went (12). 102 divided by 12 is 8.5 minutes per mile. Then divide 34 by 8.5 to get how far she went in that time. Thus meaning 4 miles.

C. The difference in time between their 4 miles is 2 minutes. Kellie took 36 minutes to go 4 mile (4 miles times 9 minutes is 36 minutes) and Ashley took 34 minutes to go 4 miles (as stated in part B.) Lastly, subtract 34 from 36 to get the 2 minute difference.

I hope this helps!
