I wish I knew how to do math. Pay attention in school, kids. I feel pathetic that I don’t even know how to do a simple problem like this…I’ve always been great with words and art, but numbers are like a foreign language…;-(….

   0.4 miles / 3 mph = 2/15 hours or 8 minutes.

   3miles/60min = 0.4miles/x

   if 3miles in 1 hr than 1 mile in 20 minutes
   1mile in 20min / 0.4miles

   The other side times the other side then vice versa 3x 04 miles hours crossmultiply these by 013 hours crossmultiply these by 013 hours crossmultiply these by taking the bottom part of.
   The top part of one side then vice versa 3x 04 now divide both sides by taking the bottom part of one side then.

   3mph means you do 3 miles in an hour. so :

   3 miles in 60 min
   .4 miles in x min

   then

   3x = 60 * 0.4
   3x = 24 / divide by 3
   x = 8

   answer

   you do .4 miles in 8 minutes
