Question

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

Answer 1

Set up a proportion, 7/60 = x/24

Answer 2

If I am wrong I appologize I haven't done this math in years

Explanation:

60÷7= 8.57

so each mile takes 8.57 mins

24÷8.57= 2.8 miles
