Task
A runner ran 20 miles in 150 minutes. If she runs at that speed,
How long would it take her to run 6 miles?
How far could she run in 15 minutes?
How fast is she running in miles per hour?
What is her pace in minutes per mile?
IM Commentary
The purpose of this task is to give students experience in reasoning with equivalent ratios and unit rates from both sides of the ratio. This prepares for studying proportional relationships in Grade 7, and in Grade 8 for understanding that a proportional relationship can be viewed as a function in two different ways, depending on which variable is regarded as the input variable and which as the output variable.
Solutions
Solution: Using a table
A B C D E F
Number of Minutes 150 15 7.5 30 45 60
Number of Miles 20 2 1 4 6 8
The values in column B were found by dividing both values in column A by 10. The values in column C were found by dividing both values in column B by 2. The other columns contain multiples of the values in column B.
If we look in column E, we can see that it would take her 45 minutes to run 6 miles.
If we look in column B, we can see that she could run 2 miles in 15 minutes.
If we look in column F, we can see that she is running 8 miles every 60 minutes (which is 1 hour), so she is running 8 miles per hour.
If we look in column C, we can see that her pace is 7.5 minutes per mile.
Solution: Finding a unit rate
If we divide 150 by 20, we get the unit rate for the ratio 150 minutes for every 20 miles.
150÷20=7.5
So the runner is running 7.5 minutes per mile. We can multiply this unit rate by the number of miles:
7.5minutesmile×6 miles=45 minutes
Thus it will take her 45 minutes to run 6 miles at this pace.
If it takes her 45 minutes to run 6 miles, it will take her 45÷3=15 minutes to run 6÷3=2 miles at the same pace.
If it takes her 15 minutes to run 2 miles, it will take her 4×15=60 minutes to run 4×2=8 miles at the same pace. Since 60 minutes is 1 hour, she is running at a speed of 8 miles per hour.
We found her pace in minutes per miles in part (a).
Answer:
When I turned 50 I felt like an old man, just like that. While I know “age is just a number” there was something about the Big 5-0 that felt a bit different. Put bluntly, it felt to me that after 50 I was on the downhill side of life.
So, after being depressed about this realization for a little bit, I began noodling around with thoughts of what in my life gives me pleasure and how I can takes those things and find ways to maintain or enhance them in this stage of life. And, of course, running was close to the top of my list. It is certainly one of the most pleasurable parts of my daily existence and so, as both a runner and a running coach, I began to reflect on what things are most important to the aging runner. And, in the process, I came up with five key tips to keep running happily into old age. Here they are:
