Question

Vincent is planning to run in a race.He runs 3.5 miles in 25 minutes.At this rate, how much will it take him to run 7 miles?

Answer 1

First, you’re gonna find your rate of change for minutes per mile by dividing the minutes by the miles (25/3.5), which equals about 7.14 minutes (but if you don’t round, it’s 7.14285714 minutes) and then you’ll multiply this by 7 miles (7.14285714*7) and get 50 minutes for 7 miles.
