<PRE><B>Question 697848</B>
The Hash House flash, runs 6 1/4 miles in 35 minutes. How many miles will he cover in 45 1/2 minutes at this pace?
------
x/(45 1/2) = (6 1/4)/(35)
----
x/(91/2) = (25/4)/35
---
x = (91/2)(25/4)/35
---
x = (91/2)(5/4)/7
-----
x = (13/2)(5/4)
x = 65/8
---
x = 8 1/8 miles
