Question

Jose runs 3 mikes in 28 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 42 minutes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.5 \: miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 \: miles \: in \: 28 \: minutes.$

$x \: miles \: in \: 42 \: minutes.$

$28x=42 \times 3$

$28x=126$

$\frac{28x}{28}=\frac{126}{28}$

$x=\frac{9}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$4.5 \: \: miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 \: \: miles = 28 \: \: min \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x \: \: \: = 42 \: min$

use cross multiplication

$42 \times 3 = 28 \times x \\ 12 6 = 28x \\ \frac{126}{28} = \frac{28x}{28} \\ x = 4.5 \: \: miles$
