  1. Calculate Ruth's pace: Calculate Ruth's pace on Saturday in minutes per mile.\newlinePace =Total timeDistance= \frac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Distance}}\newlinePace on Saturday =34.5 minutes3 miles= \frac{34.5 \text{ minutes}}{3 \text{ miles}}\newlinePace on Saturday =11.5 minutes per mile= 11.5 \text{ minutes per mile}
  2. Calculate Ruth's pace: Calculate Ruth's pace on Sunday in minutes per mile.\newlinePace on Sunday = 2828 minutes / 2.52.5 miles\newlinePace on Sunday = 11.211.2 minutes per mile
  3. Calculate the difference: Calculate the difference in pace between Sunday and Saturday.\newlineDifference in pace = Pace on Saturday - Pace on Sunday\newlineDifference in pace = 11.511.5 minutes per mile - 11.211.2 minutes per mile\newlineDifference in pace = 0.30.3 minutes per mile
