    3/4th of a mile jogs in 8 1/2 minutes.

    Let us convert 8 1/2 into improper fraction first,

    8 1/2 = (8*2+1) / 2 = 17/2 minutes.

    In order to find the number of minutes required to to cover 1 mile of distance, we need to divide given number of minutes by given number of miles.

    Therefore, number of minutes does it take him to jog 1 mile = 17/2 : 3/4

    Let us convert division sign into multiplication. The second fraction will get flip, we get

    17/2 * 4/3 = 17 * 2/3 = 34/3

    Converting 34/3 into mixed fractions, we get quotient = 11 and remainder = 1.

    Therefore, 34/3 = 11 1/3.

    Therefore, 11 1/3 minutes does it take him to jog 1 mile.
