Question

Mako runs 10 miles in 2 hours. If he continues at this rate, how many miles

will he run in 5 hours?
A. 50 miles
B. 10 miles
O C. 25 miles
O D. 30 miles

Answer 1

Answer: 25 miles

Explanation:

Explanation: He will run 5 hours= 5x5=25

Answer 2

25 miles

Explanation:

I'll create a set of proportions to figure out the answer (represented by x):

2:10 = 5:x

It looks like our proportion on the left, 2:10, can be simplified by dividing both sides by 2 to get 1:5.

1:5 = 5:x

You can multiply 1 by 5 to get 5, so we should be able to multiply 5 by 5 to get the value of x. 5 times 5 is 25, so the answer to the question is 25 miles.
