Traveling uphill at a rate of 6MPH for 50 minutes equals 300 for the distance.

Now, my question is how to convert the distance (300) into miles?

thanks in advance.

If you travel at a rate of 6mph for 50 minutes (5/6 of an hour), then you will travel a distance of 6 miles x 5/6 hour = 5 miles.

I'm not sure where the 300 comes in, or what you are trying to convert. Was this part of an original GMAT Q?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score.

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
