Question

Nathan takes 42 minutes to tread a distance of 4.5 miles on a treadmill. Determine the average distance covered in one minute

Answer 1

0.107 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Nathan takes 42 minutes to tread a distance of 4.5 miles on a treadmill.

To find average distance covered in one minute, we will divide total distance by total number of minutes.

\text{Average distance covered in one minute}=\frac{4.5\text{ miles}}{42\text{ minutes}}

\text{Average distance covered in one minute}=\frac{0.107142857\text{ miles}}{\text{ minute}}

\text{Average distance covered in one minute}\approx \frac{0.107\text{ miles}}{\text{ minute}}

Therefore, the average distance covered in one minute equals approximately 0.107 miles.
