Kennedy walks 2miles in 15 minutes she want to walk 3 more miles at the rate of speed. Which equation represents how many minutes it would take her to walk 5 miled

We know that the equation for the speed is:

Speed = Distance/time.

First, we know that he walks 2 miles in 15 minutes.

distance = 2miles

time = 15 minutes

Then his speed in that interval is:

Speed = (2 mi)/(15 min) = (2/15) miles per minute.

Now, at this same speed, he wants to walk 3 more miles. And we want to find the equation that represents how much time she needs to walk 5 miles (the 2 first miles plus the other 3 miles)

We use again the equation:

Speed = Distance/Time

But we isolate Time, to get:

Time = Distance/Speed

Where:

Distance = 5 miles

Speed = (2/15) miles per min

Time = (5 miles)/((2/15) miles per min) = 37.5 minutes

She needs 37.5 minutes to walk the 5 miles.
