It takes 30.07 minutes for Charmaine to run 4 miles

Explanation:

Given:

Distance covered by Charmaine = 6 miles

Time taken by Charmaine to run 6 miles = 45 minutes

To find:

Time taken by Charmaine to run 4 miles=?

Solution:

We know that ,
Speed=(distance)/(time)...................(1)

Substituting the values given in the question,


speed=(6)/(45)

speed=0.133 miles/minute

Re writing the equation (1), we have,


Time=(Distance)/(Speed)

Now substituting the spees and distance values, we get

Time taken by Charmaine to run 4 miles=
(4)/(0.133)

Time taken by Charmaine to run 4 miles= 30.07 minutes.
