Question

If Santos walks 5 miles in 98 minutes, then how far will Santos walk in 105 minutes?

Answer 1

Given

5 miles ---> 98 minutes

x miles ---> 105 minutes

We have the following expression:

$98\times x=105\times5$

And solve for x:

$\begin{gathered} 98x=525 \\ \frac{98x}{98}=\frac{525}{98} \\ x=\frac{75}{14}=5.36 \end{gathered}$

Answer: 5.36 miles
