Problema Solution

Rachel runs 3 miles in 25 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 20 minutes?

Answer provided by our tutors

since speed = distance/time the rate of Rachel is


v = 3/25 miles per minute


if t = 20 min we need to find the distance d


d/20 = 3/25 multiply both sides by 20


d = 3*20/25


d = 2.4 miles


Rachel will run 2.4 miles in 20 minutes.
