Question

Rachel runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 35 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: 4.2 miles

Explanation:

So she ran 6 miles in 50 minutes how long will she run in 35 minutes?

So the equation will therefore be:

6=50

x=35

Cross multiply

6 x 35 = 50x

210 = 50x

Divide both sides by 50

The answer is 4.2 miles
