Olivia ran 6
miles in 51 minutes. You are required to find the time, in minutes, it takes
her to run in 1 mile. The equation to be used in this problem is speed equals
distance over time. The solution is as follows:
S = distance/time
S = 6 miles/
51 minutes
S = 0.118
miles/minutes
To find the
time Olivia run in 1 mile, use the value of speed above and equation.
S =
distance/time
0.118
miles/minute = 1 mile / time
Time = 1
mile/ 0.118 miles/minute
Time = 8.5
miles
