Question

Pls help

Ron can run a mile in 12 minutes. It takes his
younger brother, Sam, 1.5 times longer to run a mile.
How long does it take Sam to run a mile?

Answer 1

18 minutes to run a mile

Explanation:

1.5 is equal to 150%. so given that you have 12 minutes you can do what is 150% to 12 so 100% of 12 is 12 and 50% of 12 is 6 and 6 + 12 is 18
