Christine runs 7 miles in 60 minutes. at the same rate, how many miles would she run in 24 minutes?

Let x = the unknown amount of miles she would run. We are going to set up a proportion.



Now we are going to cross-multiply and solve for x. 

60x = 7(24)
60x = 168
x = 168 / 60
x = 2.8

Christine runs 2.8 miles in 24 minutes. 

A)26•2=52there are 2 sides with the same length116-52=64the other 2 side have to be half of 64 each64/2=32the width is 32b)make two sentences about these steps because your teacher knows how you write and explain things.
