Answer:

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
