Finding the mean. Add all the distances you have together and then divide that number by how many distances you have. For instance, the mean distance of 3 miles and 12 miles and 8 miles would be 7.2 miles. You added 3+12+8 and divide by 3 because you had 3 distances to work with.

Why use parsec insread of miles?

Parsecs are commonly used in astronomy because they provide a more convenient measurement for astronomical distances than miles. Since astronomical distances are vast, using parsecs avoids working with extremely large numbers. Additionally, parsecs are based on trigonometric parallax, which allows for more accurate measurements of distances to distant celestial objects.


How many minutes in five miles run?

You can divide 60 (the number of minutes in an hour) by the minutes per mile value to get miles per hour. (if you have minutes and seconds, divide seconds by 60 to get a decimal and add to the whole minutes). However, runners are faster in shorter distances and slower in longer distances. That will limit the accuracy of any extrapolation. Why not just multiply the minutes per mile by the number of miles?
