Jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds. at this rate, how many minutes does it take him to run a mile? (1 mile = 1760)

5min

Step-by-step explanation:

1760/440=4

75*4=300

300/60+5

We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.

So, outta that process the final answer is 5 minutes
