Answer:

Scott will take 221 minutes to run 52 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed

The speed of an object can be calculated with the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Where d is the distance traveled and t is the time taken.

Scott can run d=20 km in 85 minutes. Thus, his speed is:

[tex]\displaystyle v=\frac{20}{85}\ km/min[/tex]

Now he wants to know how many minutes it will take him to run d=52 km. Solving the formula for t:

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}[/tex]

Since the speed has been already determined:

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{52}{\frac{20}{85}}[/tex]

Multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:

[tex]\displaystyle t=52*\frac{85}{20}[/tex]

t = 221 min

Scott will take 221 minutes to run 52 km
