Please answer ASAP! Seth is training for a Marathon, he’s already running 2.5 miles five times a week. It takes him 30 minutes to run 2.5 miles. He calculates how long will it take to run the full 26 miles.
A. 5/30 = 26/x; x = 156
B. 2.5/30 = x/26; x = 2.17
C. 2.5/30 = 26/x; x = 312
D. 2.5/26 = x/30; x = 2.88
I wonder if anyone will try to help someone with this name.
Soooo the answer
one of those computer game characters?? ... it'll rot your brain
it takes half an hour to run 2.5 mi ... so 5 miles per hour
the marathon is 26+ miles ... how long to run it? ... at 5 mph
... looks like the answers are in minutes
thanks for the help, took a while to figure that out
To calculate how long it will take Seth to run the full 26 miles, we can use the concept of proportions. A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal to each other.
Let's set up a proportion using the distance and time values we have:
2.5 miles / 30 minutes = 26 miles / x minutes
To solve for x, the time it will take to run the full 26 miles, we can cross multiply:
(2.5 miles) * (x minutes) = (30 minutes) * (26 miles)
Simplifying that equation, we get:
2.5x = 30 * 26
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 2.5 to solve for x:
x = (30 * 26) / 2.5
Evaluating that expression gives us:
x ≈ 312
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2.5/30 = 26/x; x = 312.
