Petra jogs 5 miles in 40 minutes. At this rate, how long would it take her to jog 13 miles?​

It would take Petra 104 minutes to jog 13 miles

because 40/5 is 8 minutes per mile

you'd multiply 13 miles by 8 minutes

Solve this using ratios.
miles:minutes
5:40
13:x
13/5=2.6
40•2.6=104
it would take her 104 minutes, or an hour and 44 minutes
