Answer:
Explanation:
Distance and time are directly related, meaning that distance / time = constant.
In this case the constant is the rate or speed.
Thus you can write:
And, given that covering 30 miles requires 25 minutes, to calculate the time needed to cover 25 miles, you can set this proportion:
- 30 miles / 25 min = 25 miles / t
To clear t you do cross multiplication:
- t × 30 miles = 25 miles × 25 min
Divide both sides by 30 miles:
- t = 25 miles × 25 min / 30 miles = 20.8 min ≈ 21 min ← answer
