You can put this solution on YOUR website! Jimmy knows that to pass the fitness test he needs to be able to run 5 kilometers in 35 minutes. His pace monitor measures in miles.
If he can run 3 miles in 35 minutes, will he pass his fitness test?
Why or why not?
:
Convert 3 mi to km: 3 * 1.609 = 4.827 km, less than 5 km. No, is the answer
:
To use his pace monitor, convert 5 km to miles; .6214 * 5 = 3.1 mi
Run 3.1 mi in 35 min and he should make it
