Answer: Adam will run 12 miles in 1 hour.

Explanation:

Ok, so we know 4 miles in 20 minutes, correct?

Multiply 20x2. You will get 40. Then, multiply 4x2. That is 8. So in 40 minutes he ran 8 miles. So if we multiply 20x3, we would get 60 minutes which is an hour. So we need to multiply 4 by 3–12.
