Question

Shen runs 7 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 75 minutes?

Answer 1

(7 miles)/(50 minutes) = (x miles)/(75 minutes)

7/50 = x/75

7*75 = 50x

525 = 50x

50x = 525

x = 525/50

x = 10.5

He can run 10.5 miles in 75 minutes

Explanation:

Answer 2

10
`(1)/(2)` miles in 75 minutes.

Explanation:

Let us first analyze the problem,

we are given that she runs 7 miles in 50 mins

make it a fraction

`(7)/(50)= (x)/(75)` (we cross multiply)

525=50x (divide both sides by 50)

x=10.5 (x= the amount of miles)
