He will run 20miles for 10 minutes

Rate = Distance / time

for the first jog

distance = 8 miles

time = 4 minutes

rate = 8 / 4

rate = 2 miles/minutes

to calculate the distance covered in 10 minutes

from Rate = distance / time

Introducing cross multiplication

Distance = rate x time

Distance = 2 x 10

Distance = 20miles
