Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
