Answer:
12 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
First figure out how long it took her to run 1/3 of the mile.
2/3 ÷ 2 = 1/3
8 ÷ 2 = 4
So she ran 1/3 in 4 minutes.
Multiply that answer by 3 to get your full mile.
1/3 * 3 = 1 mile
4 * 3 = 12 minutes
Answer:
12 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
In my brain, I divide the run into three parts (because the fraction has a base of three). If I ran two parts of those three in eight minutes, then to find the amount of time it took to run one part (cause that's how much we need to add), I need to divide the time by two, and then add it to the 8 minutes. When the math is done, a third of a mile can be ran in 4 minutes, which means that an entire mile can be ran in 12 minutes.
