she runs an 7-mile course, 4 miles of which is on level ground and 3 miles of which is downhill.

run the downhill part of the course.
Find her average speed in minutes per mile and in miles per minute for each part of the course.

The level part:
40/4 = 10 min/mi, and 4/10 = .4 mi/min

down hill part;
20/3 = 6.67 min/mi, and 3/6.67 = .45 mi/min
