She plans to run 10 miles. How many
minutes will it take her?

Answer 1

The number of minutes that Josie will take is 80 minutes.

Explanation:

Explanation:

Ratio of  the number of minutes to the  number of miles = $\frac{24}{3}$

Number of miles = 10

Number of minutes = ?

Let x be the number of minutes

According to the question,

$\frac{24}{3} = \frac{x}{10} \\\\x = \frac{240}{3} \\\\x = 80$

Therefore, the number of minutes that Josie will take is 80 minutes.
