Tinley is training to run a half-marathon. She sets a pace so that every mile takes 7 minutes. Write an equation for the amount of time, t, it takes Tinley to run m miles.
Accepted Solution
A:
By definition, it is known that distance equals speed by time. We have then d = v * t Clearing t, we have: t = (d) / (v) Then, we have that she runs at a speed of v = 1/7 mi / min Substituting the values we have t = (d) / (v) t = (m) / ((1/7)) Rewriting t = 7m answer an equation for the amount of time, t, it takes Tinley to run m miles is t = 7m
