Question 574409: if i run 2 miles in 15 minutes and 48 seconds. How long would it take to run 1 mile?
Answer by nyc_function(2741)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Convert 15 minutes to seconds and then add to 48 seconds to start with.
15 minutes = 900 seconds
Then 900 seconds + 48 seconds = 948 seconds.
Here is the proportion:
2 miles/1 mile = 948 seconds/s
Solving equation for s, where s represents seconds, we get s = 474 seconds.
Convert 474 seconds to minutes by dividing 474/60.
474/60 = 7.9 minutes.
