A horseback rider travels 2 miles in 12 minutes. At this speed, how long does it take to travel 5 miles?

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

2 miles          5 miles

------------     = -------------

12 minutes        x minutes

2x = 60

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 60/2

x = 30 minutes
