You can put this solution on YOUR website! He can run 3 and 1/3 miles in 25 minutes
--------------------------------------
In 3 times that amount of time, he can run
3 times as far, so:
He can run 10 miles in 75 minutes
----------------------------------
In half that amount of time, he can
run half that distance, so
He can run 5 miles in 37 and 1/2 minutes
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (3 1/3 mi)/(25 min)=0.133 mi/min Jeremy runs 0.133 mi/min
To run 5 miles would require 5 mi/0.133 mi/min=37.5 mins
It takes Jeremy 37.5 minutes to run 5 miles
