Steve can jog 14 miles in 2 hours. at this rate, how many miles can he jog in 1/4 hour?

1  3/4 miles in 1/4 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

 x           (1/4) hr

=

14 mi       2 hr

Cross multiplying, we get 2x = (1/4)(14), or

                                              x = (1/4)(7), or x = 7/4

Steve can jog 7/4 miles in 1/4 hour.  That's 1  3/4 miles in 1/4 hour.

24+x=y
