I don't know how to solve this problem. Cameron can run3.6 miles for every 1.9 miles that Samantha ran. If Samantha ran 7.4 miles, how far did Cameron run.
3.6/1.9 = x/7.4
Cross multiply and solve for x.
I come out with the answer of 14.02.
Would the answer of 14.03 be correct also.
14.02 is correct.
Or -- since the problem is rounded to the nearest tenth, then the answer could be 14.0

To solve this problem, you need to use the given ratio between Cameron and Samantha's running distances.
First, let's express the ratio as a fraction: for every 1.9 miles Samantha runs, Cameron runs 3.6 miles. So, the ratio is 3.6/1.9.
Now, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let "x" represent the number of miles Cameron ran.
The proportion is: 3.6/1.9 = x/7.4
Cross-multiply to solve for "x":
3.6 * 7.4 = 1.9 * x
26.64 = 1.9x
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 1.9 to isolate "x":
x = 26.64 / 1.9
x ≈ 14.02
Therefore, Cameron ran approximately 14.02 miles.
