Question

mark run 5 miles in 47.5 minutes if mark continues to run at the saem rate how many minutes will it take him to run 12 miles

Answer 1

To find out how many minutes it will take Mark to run 12 miles at the same rate, we can set up a proportion based on his current rate:

5 miles / 47.5 minutes = 12 miles / x minutes

Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:

5 * x = 12 * 47.5

5x = 570

Now, divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:

x = 570 / 5

x = 114

So, it will take Mark 114 minutes to run 12 miles at the same rate.
