Question

Jayden ran 9 laps in 27 minutes. How many minutes dose it take him to run 20 laps

Answer 1

It would take him 60 minutes to run 20 laps.

Explanation:

We can solve using proportions.

`(9 \: laps)/(27 \: minutes) = (20 \: laps)/(x) \\ \\ (540)/(9) = (9x)/(9) \\ \\ 60 = x`

It would take him 60 minutes.
