You can jog 1/4 mi in 2 minutes. How long will it take you to jog 2 mi?
(1/4) / 2 = 2 / x
(1/4)x = 4
x = 4 / (1/4)
x = 4 * 4
x = ? minutes
To determine how long it will take you to jog 2 miles, we can use the information given:
- You can jog 1/4 mile in 2 minutes.
First, let's figure out how many times you would need to jog 1/4 mile to reach 2 miles. Since 2 miles is 8 times longer than 1/4 mile, you would need to jog 8 times the distance.
Okay, now that we know how many times you need to jog 1/4 mile, we can multiply that by the time it takes you to jog that distance. Since it takes you 2 minutes to jog 1/4 mile, we multiply 2 minutes by 8.
2 minutes x 8 = 16 minutes
Therefore, it will take you 16 minutes to jog 2 miles.
