Brendan ran a total of 8 miles over the course of 4 track practices.How many track practices would it take for Brendan to run 10 miles? Solve using unit rates.
To find the number of track practices Brendan would need to run 10 miles, we can set up a proportion using unit rates:
8 miles / 4 practices = 10 miles / x practices
Cross multiplying, we get:
8 * x = 4 * 10
8x = 40
Dividing both sides by 8:
x = 40 / 8
x = 5
Thus, it would take Brendan 5 track practices to run 10 miles.
