Answer:
5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of minutes it takes Jason to run a mile, we have to first find the rate at which he runs.
This is called Jason's speed. It is given as
[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
[tex]Speed = \frac{440}{75}\\ \\\\Speed = 5.86 yards/second[/tex]
From the formula of speed, time is given as:
[tex]time = \frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]
Time taken for Jason to run 1 mile (1760 yards) will therefore be:
[tex]time = \frac{1760}{5.86} \\\\\\time = 300.34 secs[/tex]
Converting this time to minutes yields:
60 seconds = 1 minute
300.34 equals:
[tex]\frac{300.34}{60} = 5.0 minutes[/tex]
It takes Jason 5 minutes to run 1 mile.
