How do you work out the average speed if you ran a 7 minute mile?

Just write down exactly what you've included in the question, and eventuallysomething will look promising:--> 7 minutes per mile--> 1 mile per 7 minutes = (1 mile) / (7 minutes) = (1/7) (mile/minute)1/7th mile per minute is a perfectly good number for speed. But if it doesn't seem tomean much, you can convert it to miles per hour.1 hour is 60 minutes. So, whatever ground you can cover in one minute, you can cover60 times as much in an hour.(1/7) (mile/minute) x (60 minutes/hour) = (60/7) (mile/hour) = 8.57 mph
