Question

Tim runs 2.3 miles in 11.2 minutes. If he runs 98 minutes, about how many miles will he run?

Answer 1

20.125miles

Explanation:

If Tim runs 2.3 miles in 11.2 minutes, then;

2.3 miles = 11.2mins

To determine Tim's distance if he runs 98mins;

x miles = 98min

Divide both equations

2.3/x = 11.2/98

11.2x = 2.3 * 98

11.2x = 225.4

x = 225.4/11.2

x = 20.125

Hence the must have ran 20.125miles
