Every morning Jim runs for 20 minutes if Jim runs for 9 miles per hour how far does he travel

One hour is sixty minutes, so if he runs nine miles in one hour and he only runs for twenty minutes than it should be 9/3= 3 miles

First we have to know how much of one hour is 20 min. To get it, we have to dividie 20min by 60 min (60 min=1hour), so 20:60= 60 20 ​ = 6 2 ​ = 3 1 ​
We know that v = t s ​ where v is velocity, s is distance and t is time We can modify formula to get
v = t s ​ v ∗ t = s Now we just have to substitute our data ( t=1/3 and v=9 miles/hour) s= 3 1 ​ ∗ 9 =3 miles - its the result

Jim runs at a speed of 9 miles per hour for 20 minutes, which equals 1/3 of an hour. When we calculate the distance using the formula Distance = Speed × Time, he travels 3 miles. Therefore, Jim travels 3 miles every morning during his run.
