I can run 5 miles in one hour. At this rate, how long will it take me to run 7 miles? answer is not 1.4 hours.

1 hour 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So you can run 5 miles in one hour. Let's find how many minutes it takes you to run one mile.

We do this by dividing 60 by 5.

60/5 = 12

Therefore, it takes you 12 minutes to run 1 mile.

Multiply 12 by 7 to get how long it will take you to run 7 miles.

(12)(7) = 84 minutes

Or an hour and 24 minutes.

That's odd that the answer is not 1.4 minutes because 24/60 is .4 and you would add that onto the hour.

If you put in an 1 hour 24 minutes and it still says its wrong then ask your teacher about it.

I hope this helps!!

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
