Answer:

75 minutes or one hour and 15 minutes

Explanation:

[] We can set up a ratio and cross multiply to find our answer

-> x will be the minutes taken to run 10 miles

[] Set up an equation


(4miles)/(30minutes) =(10miles)/(x)

[] Cross multiply

4x = 300

-> Divide both sides of the equation by 4

x = 75 minutes

Have a nice day!
