Question

If Ike can run 7 miles in 22 minutes. Approximately how far will he be able to run in 53 minutes?

Answer 1

If Ike runs at the same pace for 53 minutes, he will run approximately 16.9 miles.

Explanation:

By creating a ratio of miles over time, you can get this

(7)/(22)=(x)/(53) = 16.86 -> 16.9

Answer 2

Approximately 16.86 miles

Explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

7 miles x miles

------------ = -------------------

22 minutes 53 minutes

Using cross products

7 * 53 = 22x

371= 22x

Divide each side by 22

371/22 = 22x/2

16.8636363 = x
