Problema Solution
Jim runs
3
miles in
25
minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in
20
minutes?
Answer provided by our tutors
First we will find Jim's rate:
v = distance/time
v = 3/25 miles per min
Let 'd' represent the miles that Jim will run in t = 20 min.
Since v = d/t we have:
d/t = 3/25
d/20 = 3/25 (since t = 20 min)

........
d = 2.4 mi
In 20 minutes Jim will run 2.4 miles.
