Quick easy math question...

[mharr7]

If you run 1.7 miles in 11 mins 35 seconds....what is the time per mile aka what is your mile pace?

Is it 6.64?

 

[rezinn]

6.81 minutes per mile

 

[Juked07]

6:49?

These are in agreement.

 

[mharr7]

thanks guy....what did you do to get that? I know its easier than im thinking....but i suck at math

divide ~11.5 by 1.7?

Seems to be the right concept =) Use 11.5833 for bonus accuracy!

roughly 6:49/mile

jesus, I'm nowhere near that time. Closest I ever was in my life, was around 7:10 when 12yo, and that was best possible mile time. Haven't ran a single mile for best time, but my two mile best is about 14:45, so about 7:23 pace. I hate running. Would rather be on a bike for cardio, or in the water.

Pretty fast for me too. I run `6miles every other day at about 9:50min/mile😱

<---DF does a DP.

It's a very simple proportion:

1.7miles = 1 miles
11 35/60 | x minutes

Cross multiply to get 1.7miles * x minutes = 11 35/60 minutes * miles

Divide 11 35/60 minutes * miles by 1.7 miles and you're left with approximately 6.81 minutes.

EDIT: Formattings borked.

Don't forget the sigfigs

best method:
[(11*60) + 35] / 1.7 = 408.82
408.82/60 =~6.81
60*0.81 =~49

6 is the whole minutes, but rather then having a decimal value for seconds, take the remainder decimal (0.81) and put that into 60 seconds.

Screw sigfigs. Real men choose however many figures they want.

HOlY SH!T MAN! THE PROFS MiGHT HEAR YOU! :Q

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

1.7/(660+35) = 1/X
1.7X = 695
X = 695/1.7 = 6 minutes and 49 seconds

Oh I'd be the same way. The longer the distance the slower I get. I get to a point that I could probably run a very long way, but only at a certain pace. My 7:30 pace probably wouldn't last very long at all beyond 2 mile.
I gotta start running long distances every day. Ugh. Gotta find some way to actually like doing that. I get out there and don't want to do it anymore. Get me on a bike, and I wouldn't really want to stop.

6:49 is not bad. in HS a friend and I constantly ran 5:30's and hit high 5 teens a few times.

 

[mharr7]

Cool thanks for the math lesson 😛 Ya this was my fastest ive ran so far. I run the same distance everytime, and just push myself to make sure I improve. I could not sustain that for longer distances though, cause I pretty much sprint the last 1/8 mile.

I'm gonna extend the distance to prolly 2 miles and go from there.

I am really interested to see what my fastest mile is now. I started from a 12+minute mile last september to a 1hr1min 10km time 2 weeks ago😀. Right now I am maintaingin a 9:50 average pace with dips down into the mid-8's but I want to push myself harder:evil:

So what you are saying is that I am better than you.

Props.
