Question
Marc can run 2 miles in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take Marc to run 5 miles?
Solution
Sure, let's solve this step by step:
-
First, we need to find out how long it takes Marc to run 1 mile. Since he runs 2 miles in 16 minutes, we divide 16 minutes by 2. This gives us 8 minutes per mile.
-
Now that we know Marc's speed, we can find out how long it will take him to run 5 miles. We multiply the time it takes to run 1 mile (8 minutes) by 5.
-
8 minutes/mile * 5 miles = 40 minutes.
So, it will take Marc 40 minutes to run 5 miles at his current speed.
