Question

1. he takes 22 minutes to walk the first mile. if he continues at this steady pace, how long would it take to reach the 5 kilometre mark? supply the answer to the nearest minute.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the distance and time per mile

He takes 22 minutes to walk 1 mile. We need to find the time for 5 miles (since we assume constant speed, time is proportional to distance).

Step2: Calculate total time for 5 miles

The formula for total time \( t \) when speed is constant is \( t=\text{time per mile} \times \text{number of miles} \). Here, time per mile is 22 minutes, number of miles is 5. So \( t = 22\times5= 110 \) minutes.

Answer:

110 minutes
