Question

Josh runs 6 miles in 44 minutes. At the same rate, how many minutes would he take to run 9 miles?

Answer 1

66 minutes

Explanation:

Method I - proportion

x/44 = 9/6

multiply both sides by 44

x = 9 / 6 * 44

x = 66 minutes

--------------------------

Method II - rate

44/6 = 7.3333333 minutes / mile

9 * 7.3333333 = 66 minutes
