Answer: [tex]1\dfrac{5}{9}\text{ minutes}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question is provided in the attachment below.
Given: Jacob and Issac decided to run to the basketball court
Distance between basketball court and school = [tex]5\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] miles
[tex]=\dfrac{21}{4}[/tex] miles
Speed = [tex]3\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] miles per hour
[tex]=\dfrac{27}{8}[/tex] miles per hour
Since, time = (distance) ÷ ( speed)
Now, the time taken by boys to arrive at the basketball court = [tex]\dfrac{21}{4}\div\dfrac{27}{8}[/tex] hours
[tex]=\dfrac{21}{4}\times\dfrac{8}{27}\\\\=\dfrac{7\times2}{9}=\dfrac{14}{9}\\\\=1\dfrac{5}{9}\text{ minutes}[/tex]
Hence, the required length of time = [tex]1\dfrac{5}{9}\text{ minutes}[/tex]
