Question

Jack can run a mile in 9, 1/3 minutes. How long will it take for him to run 3, 1/2 miles? What is the answer

Answer 1

32, 2/3 minutes.

Explanation:

Divide the original mile time by two to get what half a mile would be. Multiply the original mile time by 3, since he is running 3 miles. Add 4 and 2/3, half of a mile time, to that and you're left with 32 minutes and 40 seconds.
