How long does it take the runner to run 1 mile?
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%2F25+\" miles/minutes
\n" ); document.write( "Divide the top and bottom by \"3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283%2F3%29+%2F+%2825%2F3%29+=+1+%2F+%2825%2F3%29+\" miles/minutes
\n" ); document.write( "If the runner takes \"+25%2F3+\" minutes to run 1 mile
\n" ); document.write( "the runner will take \"26\" times longer to run \"26\" miles
\n" ); document.write( "\"+26%2A%2825%2F3%29+=+650%2F3+\" minutes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+650%2F3+=+216.667+\" minutes
\n" ); document.write( "Convert this to hours using \"+1%2F60+\" hour/minutes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3.611117+\" hrs
\n" ); document.write( "and \"+.611117%2A60+=+36.667+\" minutes
\n" ); document.write( "and \"+.667%2A60+=+40+\" sec
\n" ); document.write( "The runner does it in 3 hrs 36 min 40 sec\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
