Rachel runs 7 miles in 80 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 64 minutes?
x=5.6
7/80 = x/64
Cross multiply and solve for x.
2.2 miles
To find out how many miles Rachel would run in 64 minutes, we can set up a proportion based on the information given.
We know that Rachel runs 7 miles in 80 minutes.
Let's call the number of miles Rachel would run in 64 minutes "x".
We can set up the proportion:
7 miles / 80 minutes = x miles / 64 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
80x = 7 * 64
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 80:
x = (7 * 64) / 80
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
x = 448 / 80
Calculating the division:
x = 5.6
Therefore, Rachel would run approximately 5.6 miles in 64 minutes.
