Question

Josh runs 3 miles in 25 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 20 minutes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cross Multiplying to solve

60/25 = x = 2.4mi

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{25} *\frac{x}{20}$

Answer 2

Answer:

2.4 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the situation into a fraction form.

so $\frac{3}{25}$ and equal it to the next fraction form, which is $\frac{x}{20}$ because you are trying to find the missing number of miles that he would run in 20 min. After that cross multiply to solve for "x".

$\frac{3}{25} = \frac{x}{20}$

$60=25x$

Divide both sides by 25

$x=2.4$
