Answer:
164 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that Jerome's seed is maintained, we say that for every 1 mile, he takes 13 minutes and 40 seconds which is equivalent to[tex]13\frac {2}{3}[/tex] since 1 minute has 60 seconds hence [tex]\frac {40}{60}[/tex]=[tex]\frac {2}{3}[/tex]
Now if
1 mile = [tex]13\frac {2}{3}[/tex]
12 miles=??
We cross multiply hence 12\times[tex]13\frac {2}{3}=164[/tex]
Therefore, Jerome needs 164 minutes, equivalent to 2 hours 44 minutes
