Q. Ted likes to run long distances. He can run 20extkm in 95 minutes. He wants to know how many kilometers (k) he will go if he runs at the same pace for 285 minutes. How far will Ted run in 285 minutes? ◻ ext{ km}
Find Ted's running rate: Find Ted's running rate in km per minute. Rate = 20 km / 95 minutes Rate = 0.2105 km/min
Calculate distance in 285 minutes: Calculate the distance Ted will run in 285 minutes. Distance = Rate×Time Distance = 0.2105km/min×285minutes Distance = 60km
Check calculation for errors: Check the calculation for errors. Recalculate: 0.2105imes285=60 km
