Marc can run 2 miles in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take Marc to run 5 miles?

A) 8 minutes
B) 30 minutes
C) 40 minutes
D) 50 minutes

Answer 1

C) 40 minutes

Explanation:

It takes Marcus 8 minutes to run a mile. In 40 minutes, Marcus would have ran 5 miles.

1 mile = 8 minutes

5 miles x 8 minutes = 40 minutes to run five miles

16 / 2 = 8
8 x 5 = 40
It will take him 40 minutes to run 5 mile.

D) 40 minutes
