Answer:

Time required by Ben was 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time Required for Fred = 16 mins

Ben completed his run in 3/4 of the amount of time of Freds run.

We need to find the time required by Ben.

Now Given that;

Ben completed his run in 3/4 of the amount of time of Freds run.

It means that time required by Ben is equal to 3/4 times time required by Fred.

Time required by Ben = $\frac{3}{4}\times Freds \ run$

Time required by Ben = $\frac{3}{4}\times 16 = 12\ mins$

Hence Time required by Ben was 12 minutes.
