Ted likes to run long distances. He can run 20km in 95 minutes. He wants to know how many kilometers (k) he will go if he runs at the same pace for 285 minutes. What proportion could Ted use to model this situation?

A.) k/20= 95/285
B.) 285/95=k/20

Solve the proportion to determine how far Ted will run in 285 minutes?

Answer 1

The first answer is B because the bottom half of the proportions are how many km/minutes he CAN run, while the top half of the proportion is how many he WILL run.

He will run 60km in 285 minutes.
