Question

warren runs races to support local charities. in april, he ran a 5 - kilometer race in 30 minutes to support his local hospital. in october, he will run a 10 - kilometer race to support the animal shelter. if he runs at the same rate, how many minutes will it take warren to run the race in october? minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the speed in April

Speed = Distance / Time. In April, distance = 5 km and time = 30 minutes, so speed $v=\frac{5}{30}=\frac{1}{6}$ km/min.

Step2: Calculate the time in October

In October, distance $d = 10$ km. Using the formula Time = Distance / Speed, we substitute $d = 10$ km and $v=\frac{1}{6}$ km/min. So time $t=\frac{10}{\frac{1}{6}}=10\times6 = 60$ minutes.

Answer:

60
