While training for a race, Andre's dad ran 12 miles in 75 minutes on a treadmill. If he runs at that rate:
How long would it take him to run 8 miles? *

Based on the rate that Andre's dad is going, we know that it would take him 50 minutes to run 8 miles.

First thing to do is to find out the number of miles Andre's dad is running per minute:

= Number of miles ran / Minutes

= 12 / 75

= 0.16 miles per minute

If he were to run 8 miles therefore, it would take him:

= Number of miles to run / Miles per minute

= 8 / 0.16

= 50 minutes

In conclusion, it would take Andre's dad 50 minutes to run 8 miles.
