Question

If you ran 15 km/h for 20 min, how much distance would you cover?

Answer 1

Since we have 15 kilometers per hour, and we're looking for 20 minutes, let's set up proportions.
20/60 minutes = x/15
20/60 = 1/3, so let's leave that simplified.
1/3 = x/15
Look at the denominators, 3 to 15 is a factor of 5, so multiply the numerator by 5.
1 • 5 = 5, so you will cover 5 kilometers in 20 minutes.

I hope this helps!
