Answer:
It will take 22.5 minutes to complete 1 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
The marching band walks 1/15 miles in 1.5 minutes
First we will determine the miles cover in 1 minute
If the marching band walks 1/15 miles in 1.5 minutes
then, they will cover [tex]x[/tex] miles in 1 minute
[tex]x = \frac{1/15 * 1}{1.5}\\[/tex]
Then,
[tex]x = \frac{1/15 }{1.5}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2/45[/tex] miles
∴ 2/45 miles are covered in 1 minute
Now,
If 2/45 miles are covered in 1 minute
Then, 1 mile will be covered in [tex]y[/tex] minute
[tex]y = \frac{1 * 1}{2/45}[/tex]
[tex]y =\frac{1}{2/45} \\y = \frac{45}{2}\\[/tex]
∴ [tex]y = 22.5 minutes[/tex]
Hence, it will take 22.5 minutes to complete 1 mile
