80 minutes is required by Josie to cover 10 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' minutes needed to run 10 miles.
Given:
Ratio of minutes taken to miles covered is 24 to 3.
Number of miles covered is 10 miles.
As per question:
24 minutes is required to cover 3 miles.
So, 'x' minutes is required to cover 10 miles.
Setting up a proportion and applying cross multiplying method, we get:
X/10 = 24 /3
X × 3 = 24 × 3
3x = 240
X = 80
Therefore, 80 minutes is required by Josie to cover 10 miles.
