Kaitlin runs

6

miles in

55

minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in

44

minutes?

To solve the problem, we need to determine how many miles Kaitlin would run in 44 minutes if she maintains the same rate.

First, we calculate Kaitlin's running rate in miles per minute:

\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{6 \text{ miles}}{55 \text{ minutes}} \approx 0.1091 \text{ miles per minute}
\]

Now, we multiply this rate by 44 minutes to find out how many miles she would run in that time:

\[
\text{Distance} = 0.1091 \text{ miles per minute} \times 44 \text{ minutes} \approx 4.8 \text{ miles}
\]

So, at the same rate, Kaitlin would run approximately **4.8 miles** in 44 minutes.

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:
1. How long would it take Kaitlin to run 10 miles at the same rate?
2. If Kaitlin increases her speed by 10%, how many miles will she cover in 44 minutes?
3. How many minutes would it take her to run 3 miles at the same rate?
4. What is Kaitlin's average speed in miles per hour?
5. How would the distance change if she runs for 30 minutes at the same rate?

**Tip:** When dealing with rate problems, always check units (like minutes and hours) to ensure they match up during calculations.

Kaitlin runs 6 miles in 55 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 44 minutes?

Find out how many miles Kaitlin would run in 44 minutes if she maintains her pace of 6 miles in 55 minutes. This problem explores proportional reasoning, rates, and unit conversions, making it suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
