Question

Fernando can run 600 meters

in 5 minutes. At this rate,
how many minutes would it
take him to run 1,500
meters?

Answer 1

12.5 minutes

Explanation:

Given that,

Fernando can run 600 meters in 5 minutes.

We need to find how many minutes would it take him to run 1500 meters.

ATQ,

600 m = 5 min

1 m = (5/600) min

For 1500 m,

`t=(5)/(600)* 1500\\\\t=12.5\ min`

So, it will take 12.5 minutes to run 1500 m.
