Geri ran in a marathon race. it took her 3 hours and 28 minutes to run 26 miles. how many minutes did it take her to run 1 mile if she ran at the same rate for the whole race ?

(1 hour = 60 minutes)

First, convert the time it took to run 26 miles into minutes. 
3 hours, 28 minutes.  3 hours * 60minutes/1 hour=180 minutes + 28 minutes =208 minutes. 

Second, create a ratio.
26 miles: 208 minutes. 

Third, set up an equation to find how many minutes it took to run 1 mile. 
26 miles/208 minutes = 1 mile/x 

Fourth, solve for x by cross multiplying. 
26x=208 

Fifth, divide both sides by 26. 
x=8 

In conclusion, it too Geri 8 minutes to run 1 mile.
