Miguel runs 6 miles in 55 minutes. at the same rate, how many miles would he run in 44 minutes

You can write this in a proportion way: 6/55 = x/44.
Multiply both sides by 11 to get rid of the 55 and 44: 6/5 = x/4
Now, multiply both sides by 20: 5x = 24. x = 4.8

Therefore, he can run 4.8 miles in 44 minutes.

Speed = Distance/Time 6/55
Distance = Speed × Time
6/55 × 44

4.8 miles
