  • JSAM says:

    Create a ratio with the information given.
    You are given a rate (300ft/10s) and you need to find the time to complete 1 mile = 5280 feet. So here’s the realtionship:
    [300 feet/ 10 sec] = [5280 feet/ 'x' sec]
    Solving for ‘x’, you get (5280 ft)(10 sec/ 300 ft) = 176 sec = 2.9 min.
    Answer is D

  • TheTechK says:

    (5280 ft / mi)/300 ft = 17.6 * 10 secs to run a mile
    176 s to run a mile
    176/60 = 3 min to run a mile
    (D) is the answer
