Question

At this rate, how many miles does she run in 1 hour?

Enter your answer in the box.

mi

Answer 1

To find out how many miles McKenzie runs in 1 hour, we first need to determine how many 10-minute intervals are in 1 hour.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Number of 10-minute intervals in 60 minutes: \[ \frac{60 \text{ minutes}}{10 \text{ minutes}} = 6 \text{ intervals} \]

Now we know that she runs 1.5 miles in each 10-minute interval. To find the total distance she runs in 60 minutes, we multiply the distance per interval by the number of intervals: \[ 1.5 \text{ miles/interval} \times 6 \text{ intervals} = 9 \text{ miles} \]

Therefore, McKenzie runs 9 miles in 1 hour.

9 mi
