An athlete runs 8 miles in 50 minutes on a treadmill. At this rate how long will it take the athlete to run 9 miles? Your answers should be in minutes. Type only numbers and a decimal point.
Explanation: to find how long it takes to run one mile, divide 50 minutes by 8 miles. 50/8 = 6.25 Then you can multiply 6.25 by 9 to find the answer. 9 x 6.25 = 56.25 minutes
