Question

Josh runs 3 miles in 25 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 20 minutes?​

Answer 1

2.4 Miles

Explanation:

Put the situation into a fraction form.

so
`(3)/(25)` and equal it to the next fraction form, which is
`(x)/(20)` because you are trying to find the missing number of miles that he would run in 20 min. After that cross multiply to solve for "x".

`(3)/(25) = (x)/(20)`

`60=25x`

Divide both sides by 25

`x=2.4`

Answer 2

Cross Multiplying to solve

60/25 = x = 2.4mi

Explanation:

`(3)/(25) *(x)/(20)`
