GPT 3.5
To find out how many miles the athlete could run in 1.5 hours, we need to convert 1.5 hours to minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, 1.5 hours = 1.5 * 60 = 90 minutes.
Now, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of miles the athlete could run:
6 miles / 51 minutes = x miles / 90 minutes
Cross multiplying, we get:
51 * x = 6 * 90
Dividing both sides by 51:
x = (6 * 90) / 51
Simplifying the equation:
x ≈ 10.59 miles.
Therefore, the athlete could run approximately 10.59 miles in 1.5 hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, 1.5 hours = 1.5 * 60 = 90 minutes.
Now, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of miles the athlete could run:
6 miles / 51 minutes = x miles / 90 minutes
Cross multiplying, we get:
51 * x = 6 * 90
Dividing both sides by 51:
x = (6 * 90) / 51
Simplifying the equation:
x ≈ 10.59 miles.
Therefore, the athlete could run approximately 10.59 miles in 1.5 hours.
