Tommy Lowe · Answer 1

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time for one mile. We are told the ratio of minutes to miles is constant, so we have the proportion ...

time / distance = t / (1 mi) = (208 min) / (26 mi)

Multiplying both sides of the equation by (1 mi), we have ...

t = (208/26) min = 8 min

Geri's average pace was 8 minutes to run 1 mile.
