    80 minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can solve this problem using rule of three:

    The ratio of number of minutes and number of miles is 24 to 3, that is, for each 24 minutes running, she runs 3 miles.

    So, if to run 3 miles she needs 24 minutes, to run 10 miles, how much time she will need:

    3 miles - > 24 minutes

    10 miles - > X minutes

    3/10 = 24/X

    X = 10 * 24 / 3 = 80 minutes.

    She will take 80 minutes to run 10 miles.
