Christine runs 5 miles in 46 minutes. How many minutes does she take per mile? If necessary, round the answer to the nearest hundredth

Hello!

We can solve this exercise using the rule of three:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5\text{ miles}}{x\text{ miles}}=\frac{46\text{ minutes}}{1\text{ minute}} \\ \\ 46x=5 \\ x=\frac{5}{46} \\ \\ x\cong0.11\text{ miles per minute} \end{gathered}[/tex]
