If jamar can run 3/5 of a mile in 2 min and 30 seconds wat is his rate in miles per minute?

Question

here are your options

1) x

2) x + 5

3) x^2+2x / 2(+5)

4) x / x+5

Answer 1

3/5 = 0.6

2 min 30 sec is 150 seconds

0.6 miles / 150 seconds

three is a common denominator

he runs

0.2 miles in 50 seconds

therefore he runs 1 mile in 250 seconds which is 4 minutes, 10 seconds.

Now pick the answer.

Answer 2

divide the total time by the total distance to find out.

3/5 = 0.6   and  2min 30sec = 2.5 minutes

so:  divide 0.6 by 2.5
