Answer 1

Answer:

1 mile = 15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

3 minutes and 15 seconds = 3 min + 15 sec

1 minute = 60 seconds

15 seconds =15/60 = 0,25 min

then

3minutes and 15 seconds = 3.25 minutes

13miles in 3 minutes and 15 seconds

= 13 miles / 3.25 minutes

= 4 miles / 1 minute

every minute Jose ran 4 miles

then:

4 miles is a 1 minute

1 mile is a T minutes

T = 1*1/4

T = 1/4 minute

1 minute = 60 secomds

1/4 minute = 60*1/4 = 60/4 = 15 seconds

Answer 2

Answer: if it is supposed to be 1/3 mile in 3:15 then it takes

9 minutes and 45 seconds to run one mile. That would be 9 3/4 minutes, using fractions.

Step-by-step explanation: multiply the fraction 1/3 by 3 to make it 1 mile.

Multiply the minutes and seconds by 3 to get the time for One Mile. 3×3=9 3×15=45.

45/60 = 3/4 so 9 3/4 minutes.
