Answer:
[tex]6\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Jafar runs 1/4 of a mile in 1 2/3 minutes
so
using proportion
Find out how long in minutes will it take him to run on mile
but first convert mixed number to an improper fraction
[tex]1\frac{2}{3}\ min=\frac{1*3+2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}\ min[/tex]
Let
x ----> the time in minutes to run one mile
[tex]\frac{(1/4)}{(5/3)}\ \frac{mi}{min}=\frac{1}{x}\ \frac{mi}{min}\\\\x=\frac{5}{3}:\frac{1}{4}\\\\x=\frac{20}{3}\ min[/tex]
Convert to mixed number
[tex]\frac{20}{3}\ min=\frac{18}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=6\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]
