Question 316942: Ann runs 4 miles in 30 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in48 minutes?
I tried taking 30 and dividing it by 4, which gave me 7.5. Then i took 7.5 and multiplied it by 48. But the answer doesn't seem correct. 360.

You should have divided 48 by 7.5.

Set up a ratio.
4 miles is to 30 minutes as X miles is to 48 minutes.
4%2F30=X%2F48
X=%284%2848%29%29%2F30
X=96%2F15 or X=6.4 miles.
