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

Step-by-step:

We can write it in the proportion

where x is our number of miles trying to find

We now cross multiply or use the butterfly method which I will demonstrate both

We multiply the numerator with the dominator

so

and

or

Now for the

You would do 7 times 24 divided by 60 or

Then simplify

so 2.8 miles in either method

squares, rhombus, rectangles
