Question 791586: if a jogger runs 1.8 miles in 11 minutes and 20 seconds, how fast did he run 1.5 miles
Answer by Cromlix(4381) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.8 miles in 11 minutes 20 seconds
1.8 miles in 680 seconds
1 mile in 680/1.8 = 377.7 seconds
Therefore 1.5 miles in 3777.7 * 1.5 = 566.6
1.5 miles in 9 minutes 24 seconds.
Hope this helps.
