Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 22.5 minutes to complete 1 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The marching band walks 1/15 miles in 1.5 minutes

First we will determine the miles cover in 1 minute

If the marching band walks 1/15 miles in 1.5 minutes

then, they will cover $x$ miles in 1 minute

$x = \frac{1/15 * 1}{1.5}$

Then,

$x = \frac{1/15 }{1.5}$

$x = 2/45$ miles

∴ 2/45 miles are covered in 1 minute

Now,

If 2/45 miles are covered in 1 minute

Then, 1 mile will be covered in $y$ minute

$y = \frac{1 * 1}{2/45}$

$y =\frac{1}{2/45} \\y = \frac{45}{2}$

∴ $y = 22.5 minutes$

Hence, it will take 22.5 minutes to complete 1 mile
