Answer:
7/3 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed if the runner is given by:
[tex]speed = \frac{distance}{time} [/tex]
We have that: speed =3/8 miles per minute and distance =7/8 miles
We substitute into the formula to get:
[tex] \frac{3}{8} = \frac{ \frac{7}{8} }{time} [/tex]
[tex]time = \frac{ \frac{7}{8} }{ \frac{3}{8} } [/tex]
[tex]time = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{8}{3} [/tex]
This simplifies to
[tex] \frac{7}{3} [/tex]
Therefore it will take 7/3 miniutes to finish the race.
