Latoya runs 7 miles in 60 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 24 minutes?
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
7 miles/60 minutes = x miles/24 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
60x = 7 * 24
60x = 168
x = 168/60
x = 2.8
Therefore, Latoya would run 2.8 miles in 24 minutes at the same rate.
To find out how many miles Latoya would run in 24 minutes, we can set up a proportion using her rate of running:
Miles / Minutes = Miles per Minute
We know that Latoya runs 7 miles in 60 minutes, so her rate is 7 miles / 60 minutes. Now we can set up the proportion:
7 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 24 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
7 miles * 24 minutes = 60 minutes * x miles
168 miles * minutes = 60 minutes * x miles
Now we can cancel out the minutes by dividing both sides by 60:
168 miles = x miles
Therefore, Latoya would run 168 miles in 24 minutes at the same rate.
To find out how many miles Latoya would run in 24 minutes at the same rate, we can set up a proportion.
We know that Latoya runs 7 miles in 60 minutes. Let's assign variables to the unknown values:
Let x be the number of miles she would run in 24 minutes.
Now we can set up the proportion:
7 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 24 minutes
To solve the proportion, cross-multiply:
7 * 24 = 60 * x
168 = 60x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 60:
168 / 60 = x
x ≈ 2.8
Therefore, at the same rate, Latoya would run approximately 2.8 miles in 24 minutes.
