How fast do you have to run to run 1.5 miles in 12.5 minutes?

Answer 1

the answer is a steady pace of 7.2 miles an hour

turn the miles (1.5) and time (12.5) into a fraction (1.5/12.5) set it to equal the miles per hour you need (x) over minutes in an hour (60)

You get 1.5/12.5=x/60

cross multiply to get 1.5*60=12.5x then reduce

90=12.5x then move 12.5 to the other side

x=90/12.5

x = 7.2
