Jim runs 7 miles in 60 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 24 minutes?
To find out how many miles Jim would run in 24 minutes, we can set up a proportion:
7 miles / 60 minutes = x miles / 24 minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
60 * x = 7 * 24
Simplifying:
60x = 168
Dividing by 60:
x = 2.8
Therefore, Jim would run 2.8 miles in 24 minutes at the same rate he runs 7 miles in 60 minutes.
