round to the nearest hundredth

1. dan runs 10 miles in 80 minutes. how many minutes does he take per mile?
2. yoko bought 14 pounds of rice for $8. how many dollars did she pay per pound of rice?

Answer #1- 8 mins
Answer #2-$0.571

Explanation for #1:

For this first equation you need to find 1 mike per ___ minutes. To get from 10 to 1, you need to divide by 10. This can also be put into this equation—

10x=80

So, to find how many minutes for each mile, divide 80 by 10. This will result in 8. This means that Dan ran 1 mile in 8 minutes.

Explanation for #2:

For this next one we see that we need to find how much Yoko spent on each pound of rice.

Since we are trying to find 1 pound of rice per ___ dollars, we need to divide both 14 and 8 by 14. This can also be put into this equation—

14x=8

Once this is done we know that 1 pound of rice is equal to 0.571428571428571 cents. But, since you are required to round to the nearest hundredth, the answer will only be $0.571.
