Question

Karen runs 5 miles in 58 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 87 minutes?

Answer 1

Hint: Set up the following proportion


\(\large\frac{5 \text{miles}}{x \text{miles}} = \frac{58 \text{minutes}}{87 \text{minutes}} \)

Answer 2

Then after canceling miles and minutes you're simply left with:

\(\large\frac{5}{x} = \frac{58}{87}\)

Now you can just cross multiply and solve for x.

Answer 3

7.5

Answer 4

x = 7.5

Good job
