Question

Clarence ran 15 miles in 120 minutes. If he always runs at that speed, how long will it take him to run 6 miles?

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

divide the amount of minutes by miles and you get 8 minutes per miles. Now we have to find out how much is for 6 miles so we multiply the unit rate of minutes per miles, 8 times 6 and you get 48.

Answer 2

Let's learn how many minutes it takes for Clarence to run 1 mile:

120 / 15 = 8 minutes per mile.

So we can multiply by 6 to find 6 miles.

8 * 6 = 48 minutes for 6 miles.
