Question

Yolanda runs 5 miles in 38 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 57 minutes

Answer 1

You can use a proportion.

5 is to 38 as x is to 57.


`(5)/(38) = (x)/(57)`


`x = 57 * (5)/(38)`


`x = 7.5`

Answer: 7.5 miles

Answer 2

38 mins = 5 miles

1 min = 5/38 miles

57 mins = 5/38 x 57 = 7.5 miles


Answer: 7.5 miles
