Math Problem Statement
When running a half-marathon (13.1 miles), it took Jimmy 7 minutes to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 2, and 18 minutes to run from mile marker 2 to mile marker 4. How long did it take Jimmy to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 4?
Solution
To determine how long it took Jimmy to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 4, we simply need to add the times for each segment of his run:
- Jimmy took 7 minutes to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 2.
- Jimmy took 18 minutes to run from mile marker 2 to mile marker 4.
Now, add the two times together:
Therefore, it took Jimmy 25 minutes to run from mile marker 1 to mile marker 4.

Here are 5 related questions:
- What was Jimmy's average speed between mile marker 1 and mile marker 4?
- How long would it take Jimmy to run the entire half-marathon at the same pace?
- If Jimmy ran the second segment (from mile 2 to mile 4) faster, how much faster would his overall time be?
- How can you calculate Jimmy's pace per mile for each segment?
- If Jimmy's total time for the half-marathon was 2 hours, what would his average pace per mile be?
Tip: When adding times for multiple intervals, double-check each segment's duration to ensure accuracy.
