Question

Angela is able to run 8 miles in 36 minutes. How long will it take her to run 6 miles?

Answer 1

Apply the proportion:

Distance / time

Angela is able to run 8 miles in 36 minutes.

8 / 36

For 6 miles:

6 / x

Equal both

8/36 = 6/ x

Solve for x

8x = 6 (36)

8x = 216

x=216/8

x= 27

Answer : 27 minutes
