Question

Tony runs 5 miles in 41 minutes. How many miles does he run per minute? Round answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

We will determine the number of miles he ran per minute as follows:

$x=\frac{5mi\cdot1\min}{41\min}\Rightarrow x=\frac{5}{41}mi\Rightarrow x\approx0.12mi$

So, he ran approximately 0.12 miles each minute.
