We know that the runner completed:
- 0 miles in 0 minutes
- 1 mile in 8 minutes
- 2 miles in 16 minutes
- 3 miles in 24 minutes
⇒ [tex]\text{Speed} = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\text{Speed} = \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2}{16} = \frac{3}{24}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\text{Speed} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
So speed of the runner is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] miles per minute
Hence, in this pace she can cover in 88 minutes:
Distance = Speed × Time
⇒ Distance = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] × 88
⇒ Distance = 11 miles
Hence, the runner will cover 11 miles in 88 minutes if it maintains the same pace.
