Sagot :

Given that he took 160 minutes to cover 32 miles. So we have to find the rate of speed.

It is known that the formula of distance is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} Distance=Speed\times Time \\ \text{Speed}=\frac{Dis\tan ce}{Time} \\ S=\frac{32}{160\times60} \\ S=0.2\text{ miles/minute} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now with this rate of speed we nee to find the time taken by him to cover 100 mile.

[tex]\begin{gathered} Distance=Speed\times Time \\ \text{Time}=\frac{Distance}{Speed} \\ \text{Time}=\frac{100}{0.2} \\ T=500\text{ minutes} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the time taken by Noah to finish 100 mile race is, T=500 minutes.
