Use an equation of proportions to solve this problem.

x 44 min
-------- = ------------
6 mi 55 min

Reduce this to x/6 = 1/11. Then 11x = 6, and x = 11/6 miles, or 1 5/6 miles.

55x = 264 => 4.8 miles in 44 minutes.

Kareem runs 6 miles in 55 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 44 minutes?
