Jesper can run 6 miles in 45 minutes. He is thinking about running in two different races, a 9-mile race and a 15-mile race. At his current rate, how many more minutes will it take Jesper to complete the 15-mile race than the 9-mile race?

Find minutes per mile by dividing time by distance:

45 minutes / 6 miles = 7.5 minutes per mile

Now multiply his speed by each distance:

7.5 x 9 = 67.5 minutes

7.5 x 15 = 112.5 minutes

Now subtract the two:

112.5 - 67.5 = 45 minutes more
