Question

During their last workout, Izzy ran 2 1/4 miles in 15 minutes, and her friend Julia ran 3 3/4 miles in 25 minutes. Based on their last run, which girl is correct? Use minutes per mile.

Answer 1

divide 15 minutes ÷ 2 1/4 = 6 2/3
divide 25 minutes ÷ 3 3/4 =  6 2/3
They both ran the same amount of time

Izzy ran 6.67 minutes per mile
Julia ran 6.67 minutes per mile

(6.67 is the same as 6 2/3 and i think its mile per minute unless the textbook said it)
