Geri ran in a marathon race. It took her 3 hours and 28 minutes to run 26 miles. how many minutes did it take her to run 1 mile if she ran at the same rate for the whole race?

(1 hour = 60 minutes)

It would take her 8 minutes per mile

First, convert the time it took to run 26 miles into minutes.

3 hours, 28 minutes. 3 hours * 60minutes/1 hour=180 minutes + 28 minutes = 208 minutes.

Second, create a ratio.

26 miles: 208 minutes.

Third, set up an equation to find how many minutes it took to run 1 mile.

26 miles/208 minutes = 1 mile/x

Fourth, solve for x by cross multiplying.

26x=208

Fifth, divide both sides by 26.

x=8

In conclusion, it too Geri 8 minutes to run 1 mile.
