I don't know what kind of equation you need but the equation I wrote is the one I used to solve this. You must divide the amount of time it took to run the distance which is 20 minutes by the yards jogged which is 4850. That will give you the amount of time it took the athlete to jog one yard which you should then multiply by 9215 yards to find out how much time would be needed to cover that distance. In the equation, if you replace the "x" with the answer (37.99), the equations should be equal.

(I'm really sorry if this doesn't make sense or it's confusing but I hope it helped)

the answer is 0.071
