Question

If Jill jogs 2 miles in 15 minutes, how long will it take her (to the nearest minute) to jog 7 miles at the same rate?

Answer 1

53 minutes (52.5 without rounding up)

Explanation:

if it takes 15 minutes to jog 2 miles, you simply take the 15 and divide it by two. that is how long it takes to jog 1 mile. 15/2 = 7.5

now multiply that number by 7, since we want to know how long it takes to do 7 miles.

7.5x7= 52.5

it takes 52.5 minutes to jog 7 miles

round it up, 53 minutes
