Given: d= 1.5 miles, v = 3.75mph

Find: Time to achieve 1.5 miles given the running pace of 3.75mph

v= d/t

t= d/v

t = 1.5/3.75

t = 0.4 hours

To determine the exact value of 0.4 hours in minutes

(60)(0.4) = 24 minutes

After 24 minutes or 0.4 hours, you'll be able to reach 1.5 miles at a running pace of 3.75mph
