Latoya runs 7 miles in 60 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 24 minutes?

Answer 1

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.
