Question

mr.mays drove 20 miles in 24 minutes. At this rate ,how many miles did he drive in 6 minuts

Answer 1

20 miles .... 24 minutes
x miles ... 6 minutes

We would like to know how many miles did he drive in 6 minutes (x miles). You can calculate this in the following way:

20 * 6 = 24 * x
120 = 24 * x     /24
x = 120 / 24
x = 5 (miles)

The result is 5 miles.
