A dog won a race at the local fair by running 5 1/4 miles exactly 2 hours . At this constant rate , how long does it take it to run the same dog to run 6 3/10 mile at the state fair?
6 3/10 divided by 5 1/4 is 1.2. So 6 3/10 is 1.2 times more than 5 1/4. We then take the 1.2 and multiply it by 2 hours because we need to find what's 1.2 times more than 2 hours. So then you get 2.4 hours.
