Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Rita's speed

$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{3}{25}$ miles per minute

Step2: Find distance in 20 minutes

$\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = \frac{3}{25} \times 20$
Simplify: $\frac{3 \times 20}{25} = \frac{60}{25} = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4$

Answer:

2.4 miles
