Question

Your cross country team ran at a pace of 6 mph for 90 minutes. How far did your team run?

Answer 1

Answer: 9 miles

Explanation:

convert 90 minutes into hours: 90 mins/60 mins in an hour = 1.5 hours

find how far the team ran: 6mph * 1.5 hours = 9 miles

answer: the team ran 9 miles in 90 minutes

Answer 2

9 miles

Explanation:

90 min = 1hr and 30 min

6(miles)*1(hr) = 6

6(miles)*0.5(hr) = 3

[ remember we multiply by 0.5 because half of 1 hour is 30 min. ]
