Question

Josie is trancing for a race. The ratio of number of minutes she runs to the number of miles she runs is 24 to 3 she plans to run 10 miles. How many minutes will it take her

Answer 1

80 minutes.

Explanation:

Given: Ratio of number of minutes Josie took to run number of miles=
`(24\ minutes)/(3\ miles)`

Josie want to run 10 miles

Let´s assume the number of minutes Josie took to run 10 miles be "x".

Now, finding the number of minutes Josie to run 10 miles.

forming an equation of ratio given as considering speed remain same.

⇒
`(24\ minutes)/(3\ miles) = (x\ minutes)/(10\ miles)`

Multiplying both side by 10.

⇒
`(24* 10)/(3) = x`

⇒
`x= 8* 10`

∴
`x= 80\ minutes`

Hence, Josie took 80 minutes to run 10 miles.
