You can put this solution on YOUR website!
So at first, we have to remember that Rate x Time = Distance.
So you can either make a chart or just organize yourself through logic.
So given if distance = 3 miles, then time = 15 minutes.
The rate would be Distance / Time = 3/15 = 1/5
So rate remains the same and the distance for 50 minutes would be also rate x time which is 1/5 x 50 = 10 miles!
