Clifton ran 6 miles in 39 minutes. At this rate, how much time Clifton takes to run one mile?

A
13 minutes
B
12 minutes
C
7.2 minutes
D
6 minutes and 30 seconds

D. 6 minutes and 30 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time needed to run one mile, you would divide the time taken for 6 mile, and divide by the number of miles, to get 39/6. That comes out to be 6.5 minutes, which is the same as 6 minutes and 30 seconds.

D. 6 minutes and 30 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If Clifton runs 6 miles every 39 minutes, you have to figure out how many minutes it will take him for one mile of running.

You have to do 6/6 = 39/6

This will give u and answer of 1 = 6.5

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
