Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Josie is training for a race. The ratio of the number of minutes she runs to the number of miles she runs is 24 to 3.She plans to run 10 miles    

• Given Josie is training for a race and according to the question the number of minutes she runs to the number of miles she runs will be 24 : 3
• Also she plans to run 10 miles. So we need to find in how many minutes she is able to run 10 miles.
• So we have 24 : 3 :  : J : 10
• Or 24 / 3 = J / 10
• Or 3 J = 24 x 10
• Or J = 240 / 3
• Or J = 80 minutes

So it will take 80 minutes to run 10 miles
