Question 638738: a runner can run a mile in 6 minutes and 13 seconds. at this pace, how long will it take the same runner to run a 5 kilometer race? Answer by graphmatics(170) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The 1 mile is run in 373 seconds. The time in hours to run the mile is 373/3600=.1036. The speed in miles per hour is 1/.1036=9.65 mph. 5 kilometers equals 5*.6213=3.1065 miles. The time to run 3.1065 miles at 9.65 mph equals 3.1065/9.65=.3219 hrs =.3219*60=19.3 minutes.
