Let's turn 3 hours and 3 minutes into minutes.
One hour=60×3=180+3=183
So, there's 183 minutes in 3 hours and 3 minutes. We need to divide 26.2 miles by 183.
26.2÷183≈ 0.143
So, Sally ran 0.143 miles every minute.
Answer:
0.143 miles/minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a marathon is 26.2 miles. Sally ran a marathon in 3 hours 3 minutes.
Time Sally ran = 3 hours 3 minutes
=3(60+3 = 183 minutes
DIstance travelled = 26.2 miles
Speed per minute = distance/time taken
= [tex]\frac{26.2}{183} \\=0.143[/tex]
0.143 miles/minute
