Question

Joshua is training for a race. The ratio of the number of minutes he runs to the number of miles he runs is 24 to 3. He plans to run 10 miles. How many minutes will it take him?

Answer 1

Time taken to cover 10 miles = 80 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Ratio [Number of minutes : Number of miles runs] = 24:3

Find:

Time taken to cover 10 miles

Computation:

Number of minutes/Number of miles runs = Time taken to cover 10 miles / 10

24/3 = Time taken to cover 10 miles / 10

Time taken to cover 10 miles = 80 minutes
