Answer:

80 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using rule of three:

The ratio of number of minutes and number of miles is 24 to 3, that is, for each 24 minutes running, she runs 3 miles.

So, if to run 3 miles she needs 24 minutes, to run 10 miles, how much time she will need:

3 miles -> 24 minutes

10 miles -> X minutes

3/10 = 24/X

X = 10 * 24 / 3 = 80 minutes.

She will take 80 minutes to run 10 miles.
