Question

Andrew ran 20 miles last week (at the same pace) and spent a total of 150 minutes running. If he runs for 240 minutes this week, at the same pace as last week, how many miles will he complete?

Answer 1

He ran 32 miles in 240 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 miles in 150 minutes.

20 ÷ 150 = 0.13

The three repeats.

He ran 0.13 (2/15) miles every minute.

0.13 * 240 = 32

He ran 32 miles in 240 minutes.

Answer 2

Andrew will run 32 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the time Andrew ran by the miles he ran, you’ll get 7.5 minutes per mile. Then, if you divide 240 minutes by 7.5, you get 32 miles.
