Question

Donna run 7 miles in 60 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 24 minutes?

Answer 1

We know how many miles she runs in 60 mins, we can make a rule of three to find the miles in 24 mins

So if she runs 7 miles in 60 mins

how many x miles in 24mins

x = (24mins*7miles)/60mins = (24*7miles)/60 = 2.8 miles

So, Donna runs 2.8 miles in 24mins.
