    Jacqueline runs at 6.25 minutes per mile

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here we have that the total training time for Jacqueline = 54 minutes

    The time for which Jacqueline swims = 30 minutes

    Therefore, the time in which Jacqueline runs = 54 min. - 30 min. = 20 minutes

    Therefore the equation for Jacqueline's speed = Distance/Time we have

    Jacqueline's pace = 3.2 miles/20 minutes = 0.16 miles/minute

    Therefore Jacqueline's pace = 0.16 miles/minute

    The equation for Jacqueline's pace in miles/minute is presented as follows

    Jacqueline's pace in miles/minute = Time of running/Distance

    Jacqueline's pace in miles/minute = 1/0.16 miles/minute = 6.25 minutes/mile.
