Speed = Distance/Time 6/55

Distance = Speed * Time

6/55 * 44

4.8 miles

Danielle Morales · Answer 2

You can write this in a proportion way: 6/55 = x/44.

Multiply both sides by 11 to get rid of the 55 and 44: 6/5 = x/4

Now, multiply both sides by 20: 5x = 24. x = 4.8

Therefore, he can run 4.8 miles in 44 minutes.
