Question

Martina runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 35 minutes?

Answer 1

It may be 45 I think

Answer 2

Answer:

4.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Martina runs 6 miles in 50 minutes, we have to find the rate at which she is running. Put it in a fraction $\frac{6}{50}$ or she runs 6 miles every 50 minutes. When we divide we get that she is running, 0.12 miles evrey minute. The question askes us how far Matina will run in 35 minutes, so we multiply 0.12 by 35, and we get that she will run 4.2 miles.
