The ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes.

Solution:

Given that, An ostrich run 6 mile in 12 minutes

We have to find how far he could come in 40 minutes

Now, according to the given information

Ostrich runs 6 miles ⇒ 12 minutes

Then, “n” miles ⇒ 40 minutes

Now, by criss cross multiplication we get,


\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 6 * 40=n * 12} \\\\ {\rightarrow 40=n * 2} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=20}\end{array}

Hence, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes
