Answer 2

The distance Ted will run in 285 minutes is 60 km

Explanation:

The information in the question states as follows;

The distance Ted can run in 95 minutes = 20 km

Therefore, from the equation of speed, we have;

Speed = Distance covered ÷ Time taken

Ted speed, s = 20 km/(95 minutes) = 4/19 = 0.21 km/minute

Therefore, the distance, d Ted will cover in 285 minutes is given as follows;

d = Speed × Time = 0.21 km/minute × 285 minutes = 60 kilometres

The distance Ted will run in 285 minutes = 60 kilometres.
