Question

Evelyn can run 3 miles in 40 minutes. Which equation can be solved to find m, the number of miles Evelyn can run in 60 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

m= 4.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles Evelyn can run be m and can be modeled by the equation below

m= kx

Where x Is the Minutes

When m= 3

x= 40

3= k40

k= 3/40

If x= 60

m=3/40(60)

m = (60*3)/40

m= 180/40

m= 4.5 miles
