Brendan ran a total of
8
8 miles over the course of
4
4 track practices.
How many track practices would it take for Brendan to run
10
10 miles? Solve using unit rates.
To find the unit rate, we divide the total number of miles ran by the number of track practices:
8 miles / 4 track practices = 2 miles per track practice
So Brendan runs 2 miles per track practice.
To find how many track practices it would take for Brendan to run 10 miles, we divide the desired distance by the unit rate:
10 miles / 2 miles per track practice = 5 track practices
Therefore, it would take Brendan 5 track practices to run 10 miles.
