Answer:

60km

Explanation:

First, we need to see how many times 95 can go into 285, so we know how much to multiply the 20 by.


(285)/(95) = 3

Now we know that 95 minutes can go into 285 minutes 3 times. Since Ted runs 20km in 95 minutes, simply multiply to know how many kilometers he runs in 285 minutes.

20(3) = 60
