Solve by using a proportion. Round answers to the nearest hundredth if necessary. 1. You jog 3.6 miles in 30 minutes. At that rate, how long will it take you to jog 4.8 miles? 2. You earn $33 in 8 hours. At that rate, how much would you earn in 5 hours?



Answer :

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

rate ---> 3.6 miles / 30 minutes

The unit rate is:

Unit rate = 0.12 miles/minute

Now, dividing the needed 4.8 miles by the unit rate will give us our desired number:

Time= 4.8 miles/ 0.12miles/minute = 40 minutes

The answer is 40 minutes.
