Question

Reece and Samuel are training for a cross country meet. The ratio of miles Reece runs to miles Samuel runs is 2 to 3. If Samuel logs 81 miles, then how many miles did Reece log?

Answer 1

Reece log 54 miles

Explanation:

The ratio of miles Reece runs to miles Samuel runs is 2 to 3.

Samuel logs 81 miles

the ratio 2 to 3 means that if Reece ran 2 miles Susan would run 3 miles, so Reece runs with respect to Susan is 2/3

R = Miles Reece runs

R = 2/3 * 81mi

R = 54mi

Reece log 54 miles
