Run 6.3 miles in 59 26 minutes is how many minutes a mile?

Answer 1

6.3 miles in 59.26 minutes equates to 9.4 minutes per mile.

The way to work it out is in the question you asked. You want to know something in minutes per mile/ Think about how you see kilometres per hour written: km/h

Anything that is PER anything elseis often written like: anything/anythingelse

In this case youre asking for minutes per mile, which you might see written asminutes/mile

And you have the minutes

And you have the miles

It's no accident that / is used in divide operations, it's the symbol computers use for division, and if you were writing 2 divided by 3 on one line you might well write something like 2/3

So your units, minutes/mile is basically telling you to take the minutes, and divide it by the miles

59.26 minutes / 6.3 miles

59.26 divided by 6.3 = 9.4 minutes/mile
