Kara ran 5 miles yesterday. She ran again today. Her total distance for
both days is 6.5 miles. If she ran at a pace of 6 miles per hour today,
how long did Kara run today?

Sagot :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let t represent the time in hours that Kara ran today. Then her distance today is ...

  distance = speed · time

  distance = 6t

Her total distance for both days is ...

  5 + 6t = 6.5

  6t = 1.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5

  t = 1.5/6 = 1/4 . . . . . divide by 6

Kara ran 1/4 hour today. That is 15 minutes.
