Question

Ted likes to run long distances. He can run 20 \text{ km}20 km20, start text, space, k, m, end text in 959595 minutes. He wants to know how many kilometers (k)(k)(, k, )he will go if he runs at the same pace for 285285285 minutes. How far will Ted run in 285285285 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:
295/95 = k/20

Explanation:

we know that

Ted runs 20 km in 95 minutes

so

Using proportion
Find out how many kilometers he runs at the same pace for 285 minutes

Let k ----> the number of kilometers
20km/95 Min= k is,km/285 min
k=20(285)/95
K=60KM

therefore

The proportion that could Ted use to model this situation is

20/95 = k/285
Rewrite
285/95 = k/20
