Question

Micheal runs 7 miles in 80 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 64 minutes?

Answer 1

Micheal's rate is 7 miles per 80 minutes, which can be written as a fraction:
7/80, which equals 0.0875.
Now you can say that Micheal runs 0.0875 miles per one minute.
Multiply 0.0875 by 64,
64(0.0875) = 5.6

Micheal would run 5.6 miles in 64 minutes.
