If you run 3 mph how long does it take you to run 150 yards?

Answer 1

This is a problem where you have to convert to similar units before you can solve. It is easiest to covert miles into yards (otherwise we'd be dealing with a lot of decimals). 1 mile = 5,280 feet and 3 feet = 1 yard. Therefore: 3 miles/1 hour * 5280 feet/1 mile * 1 yard/ 3 feet = 5,280 yards/hour 3 mph = 5,280 yards/hour Now that units are similar (you are running at 5,280 yards/hour), we can easily figure out how long it will take to run 150 yards. 5280 yards/ 1 hour = 150 yards/ X 5280X = 150 X = .028409 hours This answer is a bit strange so let's convert it to minutes. We know 1 hour = 60 minutes, so: .028409 hours * 60 minutes/1 hours = 1.70454 minutes If you want to go one step further and convery the .70454 minutes into seconds: .70454 minutes * 60 second/1 minute = 42.27 seconds Our answer then is: if you run at 3 mph, it would take 1 minute 42.3 seconds to run 150 yards.
