Harry is training for a cross-country track event. The table shows the proportional relationship between his distance and time.

Distance (miles) 0.6 1.4 ?
Time (minutes) 4.2 9.8 14.7

How many miles can Harry run in 14.7 minutes?

1 answer

To find out how many miles Harry can run in 14.7 minutes, we need to determine the distance for that specific amount of time in the table.

Looking at the table, we can see that when Harry runs 1.4 miles, it takes him 9.8 minutes.

So, the ratio of distance to time is consistent. And we can set up a proportion to find the distance in 14.7 minutes.

(1.4 miles / 9.8 minutes) = (? miles / 14.7 minutes)

To solve for the missing distance, we can cross multiply.

9.8 * ? miles = 14.7 * 1.4 miles

13.72 miles = 20.58 miles

So, Harry can run approximately 20.58 miles in 14.7 minutes.
