Answer:

4.2 miles

Explanation:

Martina runs 6 miles in 50 minutes, we have to find the rate at which she is running. Put it in a fraction
image or she runs 6 miles every 50 minutes. When we divide we get that she is running, 0.12 miles evrey minute. The question askes us how far Matina will run in 35 minutes, so we multiply 0.12 by 35, and we get that she will run 4.2 miles.
