Inessa ran 3 laps in 10 minutes. How long would it take her to run 5 laps at this pace?
1 1/2 minutes
15 minutes
16 2/3 minutes
20 minutes
To find out how long it would take Inessa to run 5 laps at the same pace, you can set up a proportion:
laps / minutes = laps / minutes
3 / 10 = 5 / x
Cross multiplying, you get:
3x = 50
Dividing both sides by 3, you get:
x = 16 2/3 minutes
Therefore, it would take Inessa 16 2/3 minutes to run 5 laps at this pace.
