Andy ran a 5-kilometer race in 40 minutes. If Andy maintains that same place, how many kilometers did Andy run In 1 hour?
Set up a proportion. Cross multiply and solve for x.
5/40 = x/60
40x = 300
x = 7.5 km in one hour
To find out how many kilometers Andy would run in 1 hour if he maintains the same pace, we need to find the speed at which Andy ran the 5-kilometer race.
We know that Andy ran 5 kilometers in 40 minutes. To find the speed, we can divide the distance by the time:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 5 kilometers / 40 minutes
Next, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours, as we want to find the distance Andy would run in 1 hour. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can convert the time as follows:
40 minutes = 40 / 60 hours = 0.67 hours
Now we can calculate the distance Andy would run in 1 hour by multiplying the speed by 1 hour:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = (5 kilometers / 40 minutes) x 1 hour
Plugging in the values:
Distance = (5 kilometers / 0.67 hours) x 1 hour
After simplifying the equation:
Distance = 7.46 kilometers
Therefore, if Andy maintains the same pace, he would run approximately 7.46 kilometers in 1 hour.
