A rabbit can run 24/5 miles every hour. How many hours will it take for the rabbit to run 14 miles?

3 or almost 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first, we need to find a whole/mixed number amount for how much miles the rabbit runs every hour.

5 goes into 24  4 times and we have 4 leftover. (4 and 4/5)

This means that the rabbit runs 4 and 4/5, or 4.8 miles every hour.

Next we multiply 4.8 by consecutive numbers (2, 3, 4) until the required number (14 miles) is met.

4.8 x 2 = 9.6       which is less than 14 so this is not our answer

4.8 x 3 = 14.4       this is the closest whole number to 14 we can get, and therefore this is our answer.

The rabbit will take 3 or almost 3 hours to run 14 miles.
