<PRE><B>Question 994436</B>
If you run 15 miles in 120 minutes. At this speed how long will it take you to run 125 miles? 
-------
Note:: 120 min = 2 hrs
15 miles in 2 hrs = 7.5 mph
------
Equation:
time = distance/rate
time = 125/7.5 = 16 2/3 hrs

Or use a proportion:
x/125 = 2/15
x = 250/15 = 16 2/3 hrs</PRE>
