Athlete runs 4 miles in 28 minutes and then changes his 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 distance.

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 = <<28+32=60>>60 minutes.

To find the average time it takes to run 1 mile, we need to divide the total time (60 minutes) by the total distance (8 miles).

Average time per mile = total time / total distance
Average time per mile = 60 minutes / 8 miles
Average time per mile = 7.5 minutes

Therefore, it takes the athlete an average of 7.5 minutes to run 1 mile.
