Question

Willie runs 2 miles in 24 minutes. If Willie runs at the same rate, how many miles can he run in 168 minutes?

A. 14

B. 12

C. 16

D. 18

Answer 1

If Willie runs 2 miles in 24 minutes, he runs at a rate of 2 miles / 24 minutes = 1/12 miles per minute.

To find out how many miles he can run in 168 minutes, we can multiply the rate by the number of minutes:
1/12 miles per minute * 168 minutes = 168 / 12 = 14 miles

Therefore, Willie can run 14 miles in 168 minutes. The answer is A. 14.
