maren walks 3/5 miles in24 minutes at a steady pace. how long does it take her to walk 2 miles
0.6/24 = 2/x
0.6x = 48
x = 80 minutes
To find out how long it takes Maren to walk 2 miles, we can use the information given about her pace.
First, let's calculate her pace per minute.
Maren walks 3/5 miles in 24 minutes, so her pace per minute can be calculated as:
(3/5) miles ÷ 24 minutes = 0.05 miles per minute
Now, we can use this pace to find out how long it takes Maren to walk 2 miles.
2 miles ÷ 0.05 miles per minute = 40 minutes
Therefore, it takes Maren 40 minutes to walk 2 miles at her steady pace.
