An athlete runs 4 miles in 28 minutes and then changes their pace to run the next 4 miles in 32 minutes overall what is the average time In minutes it takes the athlete to run 1 mile

1 answer

To find the average time it takes the athlete to run 1 mile, we need to calculate the total time taken to run 8 miles and then divide it by the total number of miles.

The athlete runs the first 4 miles in 28 minutes, and the next 4 miles in 32 minutes.
Therefore, the total time taken to run 8 miles is 28 + 32 = 60 minutes.

To find the average time per mile, we divide the total time by the total number of miles:
60 minutes / 8 miles = 7.5 minutes per mile.

Therefore, the average time it takes the athlete to run 1 mile is 7.5 minutes.
