molly ran 2/3 of a mile in 8 minutes . if molly runs at that speed , how long will it take her to run one mile

Sagot :

So,

Molly runs two-thirds of a mile in 8 minutes.

[tex] \frac{2}{3} = 8[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal.
[tex] \frac{2}{3} * \frac{3}{2} = \frac{8}{1} * \frac{3}{2} [/tex]

[tex]1\ mile\ = \frac{8}{3} \ min.\ or\ 2 \frac{2}{3}\ min.\ or\ 2.666...\ min.\ or\ 2\ min.\ 40\ secs.[/tex]
