If it takes a runner 15 minutes to run a mile how many miles would he run in two and half hours?
If it takes a runner 15 minutes to run a mile how many miles would he run in two and half hours.
0.25/1 = 2.5/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
To find out how many miles the runner would run in two and a half hours, we can use the information that it takes him 15 minutes to run a mile.
First, we need to convert two and a half hours into minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, two and a half hours is equal to 2.5 x 60 = 150 minutes.
Next, we can divide the total number of minutes by the time it takes the runner to run a mile. So, 150 minutes divided by 15 minutes per mile would give us the number of miles the runner would run.
Therefore, the runner would run 150 / 15 = 10 miles in two and a half hours.
