Answer:

A. 12

Explanation:

  1. Set up a proportion:
    (4)/(30) = (x)/(90)
  2. Cross multiply, then divide: 4 × 90 = 360, 360 ÷ 30 = 12
  3. So, Dina can run 12 miles in 90 minutes

I hope this helps!

Answer:

15minutes / 2miles = 7.5 minutes to run a single mile.

7.5minutes * 5miles = 37.5minutes

37.5minutes to run 5 miles
