Question

Maria runs 7 miles in 80 minutes. at the same rate, how many miles would she run in 64 minutes​

Answer 1

5.6 miles

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to find the unit rate (the number of miles in 1 minutes).

To get this, we need to divide total miles ran (7 miles) by the total minutes taken (80 minutes). Thus, we will have MILES PER MINUTE.

7 miles ÷ 80 minutes = 7/80 miles per minute

Now,

We want number of miles in 64 minutes. Since we know "PER MINUTE", we simply multiply that with 64 to get number of miles in that amount of time.

THus,

`(7)/(80)*64=(56)/(10)=5.6`

So, in 64 minutes, Maria can run 5.6 miles
