Question

Ryan is training for a marathon. He runs a distance of 7 miles in 49 minutes at the same speed. If Ryan ran a total of 147 minutes this week, at the same rate, how much distance did he cover?

Answer 1

Ryan runs at a speed of 7 miles / 49 minutes = 0.1428 miles/minute.

If he ran a total of 147 minutes, then he covered a distance of 147 minutes * 0.1428 miles/minute = 21 miles.

Therefore, Ryan covered a distance of 21 miles this week.
