Question

Amy runs 2 miles in 30 minutes enter the number of minutes it takes Amy to run 7 miles at this rate.?

Answer 1

1.75 hours

1 hour and 45 minutes

Explanation:

`(7)/(y): (2)/(30)`

y · 2 = 30 · 7

2y = 210

2y ÷ 2 = 210 ÷ 2

y = 105

1 hour = 60 minutes

y hours = 105 minutes

`(1)/(60): (y)/(105)`

y · 60 = 105 · 1

60y = 105

60y ÷ 60 = 105 ÷ 60

y = 1.75

Answer 2

Explanation:

Amy is running 1 mile every 15 minutes, so 15*7 will give you your answer, which is 105. Divide 105 by 60 to convert into hours, which is 1 hour and 15 mins.
