Question

Rochelle can run 800 meters in 5 minut

At that rate, how many meters can
Rochelle run in 9 minutes?

Answer 1

To find how much she can run in one minute we’re going to divide 800 by 5, to which we get 160.

She runs 160 meters in one minute.

We want to know how many meters she can run in 9 minutes.

160 * 9 = 1,440

She can run 1,440 meters in 9 minutes.
