Question

Jill can run 5 miles in 45 minutes. If she keeps the same pace, how long will it take her to run 18 miles?

Answer 1

T = 162 minutes

Explanation:

Given that,

Jill can run 5 miles in 45 minutes.

We need to find how long will it take her to run 18 miles.

`5\ miles =45\ minutes\\\\1\ mile=((45)/(5))\ minute\\\\1\ mile =9\ minute`

So,

18 miles = (18×9) minutes

= 162 minutes

Hence, 162 minutes will be taken by her to run 162 minutes.
