7min per mile =7*8=56 min per 8 mi +4 min.

8 4/7 mph= 8.571428 mph.

1/7 = x/60

x = 60/7 = 8 4/7 miles

let x - distance he traveled in 1 hour..

note 1 hour = 60 minutes

1/7 = x/60

60 = 7x

x = 8.57 miles

Every 7 minutes he will travel 1 mile.

How many lots of 7 minutes in 60 minutes?

60/7 = 8.56

Ans: 8.57 miles

rule

1 hour = 60 mins

If someone bikes 1 mile in 7 mins how many miles in 1 hour?

The answer is 8 4/7 miles.

// Since 1 hour = 60 min, you can set up a proportion comparing miles to min

1 mile..........x

-------- = -----------

7 min......60 min

.......1 mile ( 60 min)

x = ----------------------.

.............7 min

x ≈ 8.57 miles (rounded)...........ANS

1 mi in 7 min = (1/7) mi in 1 min = 60(1/7) mi in 60*1 min, ie., (60/7)mi in 1 hr or

8 4/7 mi in 1 hr or 8.57142857 mi in 1 hr or 8.6 mi in 1 hr rounded to nearest tenth of a mi. Take your pick.

One hour is 60 minutes.  If you divide the hour (60 minutes) into blocks of 7 minutes (time for 1 mile) 

'

60 / 7 =  ?      (what grade is this?)

4.5 miles...…..………………………………………….
