Question

Bobby can run a mile in 7 minutes. Use the ratio table to help determine how

many miles he can run in 28 minutes.

Answer 1

Hello there! The answer to this problem is that Bobby can run 4 miles in 28 minutes. If Bobby runs 1 mile in 7 minutes, we will have a table with two columns. On the left, we will have the number of miles, and on the right we will have the number of minutes.

miles - minutes

1 - 7

2 - 14

3 - 21

4 - 28

As the number of miles increases by 1, the number of minutes increases by 7. This is a ratio of 1:7. If it takes Bobby 7 minutes to run a mile, it makes sense that it will take him 28 minutes to run 4 miles because 28/7 = 4.

Hope this helps! Have a great day - Mani :)

Answer 2

4 miles

Explanation:

In 7 minutes he runs 1 mile

So in 28 minutes he runs 4 miles

How did I get this answer?

7×4=28

So 1×4=4

In ratios, when you times anything by something, you must do the same to the other part of the ratio.
