Sagot :

so this is a ratio

for biking, she goes 75 miles per 300 minutes, to solve for the ratio, make as fraction
miles per minute=75/300=1/4, 1 mile every 4 minutes for biking

running is 30 miles per 240 minutes, convert to fracion
30/240=3/24=1/8 1 mile every 8 minutes


so if she will spend 48 minutes biking then
every 4 minutes she goes 1 mile so divide 48 by 4 and get 48/4=12, she will go 12 miles in biking

if she spends 24 minutes runnning and 8 minutes per mile then 24/8=3 3 miles is the course

the course is 12 miles of biking 3 miles of running or 12+3=15 miles

the answer is B

48 divided by 24 = 2

So divided each side gives you 2 for both sides.

So 22.
