Answer: 80 minutes

Explanation:

The ratio of the number of minutes to the number of miles she runs is 24 : 3.

i.e 24 miles in 3 minutes

Average speed = 24 miles/3minutes

= 8 miles per minute

Since, she plans to run 10 miles, her average speed will be:

= 8 miles per minute x 10 miles

= 80 minutes

Thus, it will take Josie 80 minutes to go run 10miles
