ben is training for a triathlon he runs 1/5 of a mile in 1/20 of an hour he seems to third of a mile in 1/9 of an hour he bikes for miles in 1/4 of an hour at this rate how many minutes does it take them to run 2 miles swim 2 miles in bike 8 miles

a) He will take 76 minutes in the triathlon

Step-by-step explanation:

He runs  1/5 of a mile in 1/20 f hour then, by simple inspection

1/5    ⇒    1/20       then    1/5 miles* 10    = 2 miles

                                        1/20*hours*10    = 1/10 hours

10/10 of an hour is 60 minutes

1/10 of an hour is 6 minutes

swimming

1/3 of a mile in 1/9 of hours then

1/3mile *6   = 2 miles

1/9 of an hour * 6 = 6/9 hours  or 2/3 of an hour

3/3 of an hour is 1 hour   = 60 minutes

2/3 of an hour is    =  40 minutes

In bike

4 miles  in  1/4 hour   then

4 miles *2   = 8 miles

1/4 hour* 2  =  1/2 hour = 30 minutes

Then he will do the triathlon in:

6 minutes running

40 minutes swimming

30 minutes in bike

Total 76 minutes

2,600 divided by 80 = 32.5
