Marc can run 2 miles in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take Marc to run 5 miles?

Sagot :

2 miles in 16 minutes = 1 mile in 8 minutes

Therefore 5 miles will take 8 x 5 = 40 minutes
Time taken to travel 2 miles = 16 minutes

therefore time taken to travel 1 mile = 16/2 = 8 minutes

⇒ To travel 5 miles,he will require    8 × 5 mins
                                                  = 40 minutes
