If a runner can run 3 miles in 25 minutes how long should it take to run a 26 mile marathon?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the runner can run a 3-mile distance in 25 minutes, or \"5%2F12\" hr\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then he/she is running at a speed of \"3%2F%285%2F12%29\", or \"3%2A%2812%2F5%29\", or \"36%2F5\" mph\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the runner's speed = \"36%2F5\" mph, then the time it'd take him/her to run a 26-mile marathon = \"26%2F%2836%2F5%29\" ------- \"26%2A%285%2F36%29\" ------- \"%2813%2A5%29%2F18%29\" ------ \"65%2F18\", or \"highlight_green%283%2611%2F18%29\" hours, or 3 hours \"36%262%2F3\" minutes, or \"highlight_green%283_hours_36_minutes_40_seconds%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
