Question

Pat runs 10 miles in 75 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 69 minutes?

Answer 1

answer: 9.2
explanation: she runs .133333 miles in a minute, so multiply that by 69

Answer 2

We can first find out how many minutes it'd take him to run 1 mile:

75 / 10 = 7.5.

So he can run a mile in 7.5 minutes.

We can divide 69 by 7.5 to get the amount of miles:

69 / 7.5 = 9.2.

Pat can run 9.2 miles in 69 minutes.
