Question 517685
<pre>
30 minutes is HALF an hour, so if you can run 5.5 miles in a WHOLE hour,
then you can run HALF that in a HALF hour.  HALF of 5.5 is the same as 
dividing 5.5 by 2: 

                      <u> 2.75</u>  
                     2)5.50
                       <u>4</u>
                       1 5
                       <u>1 4</u>
                         10
                         <u>10</u>
                          0
