Question

Petra jogs 2 miles in 24 minutes. At this rate, how long would it take her to jog 12 miles?

Answer 1

Answer: 144 minutes

Explanation:

If she can run 2 miles in 24 minutes and she needs to run 12 miles you need to multiple 24 and 6 ( You get a six because 24 minutes is for TWO miles. So you need to split the 12 in half.)

Answer 2

144 minutes or 2 hours and 24 minutes

Explanation:

12 miles divided by 2 miles = 6

24 * 6 - 144

So the final answer is 144.
