Question

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

Answer 1

66 minutes

Explanation:

Solve for speed

speed = distance / time

speed = 6 / 44

Substitute in speed to second equation and solve for time

distance / speed = time

9 / (6/44) = time

66 = time taken
