John hikes at a rate of 24 min/mile.  How long will it take John to hike 5  miles?

To find out how long it will take John to hike 5 miles, multiply the time it takes him to hike 1 mile by the number of miles:

\[
\text{Time} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Distance}
\]

Given:
- Rate = 24 minutes per mile
- Distance = 5 miles

\[
\text{Time} = 24 \, \text{minutes/mile} \times 5 \, \text{miles} = 120 \, \text{minutes}
\]

So, it will take John 120 minutes (or 2 hours) to hike 5 miles.
