Question

Yesterday I ran 9.6 miles at an average speed of 0.4 miles per 5 minutes. How long did it take me to run the 96 miles?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is how we do it in college, I hope I can be of some help.

First, you multiple 9.6 miles with 5 minutes. Then, you divide your answer with 0.4 miles. Next, you cancel the two mile units because of division and then be left with 120 minutes.

9.6 miles x 5 minutes = 48 miles x minute = 120 minutes

0.4 miles 0.4 miles
