the athlete would run 9.6 miles in 1 hour because if you convert 1 hour into minutes you get 60 minutes and if you put it as a proportion 8/50 equals x/60 solve for x and 60 * 8 equals 480 and 480 divided by 50 equals 9.6

The distance the athlete will run in 1 hour at the same rate is 9.6 miles.

Given the following data:

  • Distance A = 8 miles
  • Time A = 50 minutes
  • Time B = 1 hour

To determine how far (distance) the athlete will run in 1 hour at the same rate:

First of all, we would convert the value of the time in hour to minutes.

Conversion:

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Next, we would calculate the new distance by applying direct proportion:

By using direct proportion:

8 miles = 50 minutes

X miles = 60 minutes

Cross-multiplying, we have:

[tex]50X =8\times 60\\\\50X=480\\\\X=\frac{480}{50}[/tex]

X = 9.6 miles.
