Joe ran 2 miles in 16 minutes. At this rate how long did it take him to run 5 miles.

40min

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio is 2:16, we want simplify. both 2 and 16 are dividable by 2.

2 / 2 = 1

16 / 2 = 8.

Now we can use the ratio 1 mile per 8 min. We want the rate of how many min to miles, so we'd multiply 5 by 8 which equals 40.

Therefore it takes him 40min to run 5 miles.

Hope this helps!

i don't know, but that looks pretty bad. my school passed us unless we failed in all the subjects, but idk abt ur school's rules.
