Question

Josie is training for a race the ratio of the number of minutes she wants to the number of miles she wants is 2043 she plans to run 2 miles how many minutes will it take her

Answer 1

Josie takes 0.93 minutes to run 2 miles.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Ratio:

Number of minutes: Number of miles = 20:43

Josie wants to run 2 miles. We have to find the number of minutes she need to run to maintain the ration.

Let x be the number of minutes Josie run.

This can be done in the following manner:

`(20)/(43) = (x)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow x = (20)/(43)* 2\\\\\Rightarrow x = 0.93`

Thus, Josie takes 0.93 minutes to run 2 miles.
