Answer 1

Answer:

Josie takes 0.93 minutes to run 2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Ratio:

Number of minutes: Number of miles = 20:43

Josie wants to run 2 miles. We have to find the number of minutes she need to run to maintain the ration.

Let x be the number of minutes Josie run.

This can be done in the following manner:

$\dfrac{20}{43} = \dfrac{x}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{20}{43}\times 2\\\\\Rightarrow x = 0.93$

Thus, Josie takes 0.93 minutes to run 2 miles.
