Answer:
9 miles in 54 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Create proportions
Do it miles:minutes
In this case it would be
3:18
Then divide both sides of the proportion by three to get
1 : 6
or the statement "It takes the runner 6 minutes to run a mile."
Now create another proportion
x: 54
If he can run a mile in 6 minutes,
he can run x miles in 54 minutes.
In this case divide 54 and 6 to get 9 miles in 54 minutes.
Hope this helps!
