Question

Carrie ran the first 3.2km of a 10-km race in 16 minutes. If she
keeps the same pace throughout the race how long will it take her to run the entire race? Please show work

Answer 1

you can figure this out by doing (10/3.2)* 16. This works out how much bigger a 10k race is compard to a 3.2k race, then uses the same ratio for their times. I got 50mins

Answer 2

this is because if she goes at the same pace, the ratio of the race lengths is the same as the ratio of the time she takes for each distance

Answer 3

ok thank u
