Question

molly ran 1/4 of a mile in 1 minute if molly runs at that speed how long will it take her to run 4 miles

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Molly ran 1/4 of a mile in 1 minute, i.e.

1/4 mile : 1 minute

Multiply both sides by 4 to get time for one mile

1 mile : 4 minutes

Multiply by 4 again to get time for 4 miles

4 miles = 4*4 = 16 minutes.

So it takes Molly 16 minutes to run four miles.
