Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: She would run 2.8 miles in 24 minutes.

Explanation:

`(x)/(24minues) =(7miles)/(60minues)`. we cross multiply it, then we got:

60x = 7(24)

60x = 168

x = 2.8 miles

Answer 2

2.8 miles

Explanation:

in 60 minutes = 7 miles

in 1 minute = 7/60 miles

In 24 minutes = 7/60 × 24

Hope this helps.
