Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The values in column B were found by dividing both values in column A by 10. The values in column C were found by dividing both values in column B by 2. The other columns contain multiples of the values in column B.
If we look in column E, we can see that it would take her 45 minutes to run 6 miles.
If we look in column B, we can see that she could run 2 miles in 15 minutes.
If we look in column F, we can see that she is running 8 miles every 60 minutes (which is 1 hour), so she is running 8 miles per hour.
If we look in column C, we can see that her pace is 7.5 minutes per mile.
Solution: Finding a unit rate
If we divide 150 by 20, we get the unit rate for the ratio 150 minutes for every 20 miles.
150÷20=7.5
So the runner is running 7.5 minutes per mile. We can multiply this unit rate by the number of miles:
7.5minutesmile×6 miles=45 minutes
Thus it will take her 45 minutes to run 6 miles at this pace.
If it takes her 45 minutes to run 6 miles, it will take her 45÷3=15 minutes to run 6÷3=2 miles at the same pace.
If it takes her 15 minutes to run 2 miles, it will take her 4×15=60 minutes to run 4×2=8 miles at the same pace. Since 60 minutes is 1 hour, she is running at a speed of 8 miles per hour.
We found her pace in minutes per miles in part (a).
