Question

Raina runs 6 miles in 55 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 44 minutes?

Answer 1

raina runs 6 miles in 55 minutes

so it speed is 6/55 miles per minute

that means in one minute he runs 6/55 miles

so in 44 minutes

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{6}{55}\times44 \\ =\frac{6\times4}{5}=\frac{24}{5} \end{gathered}$

in 44 minutes he will run 24/5 miles or 4.8 miles
