### Instruction: It takes 24 minutes for Jana to walk one mile. At that rate, how far in miles will she walk in 10 minutes? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.### Response: So in 24 minutes she walks 1 mile. Let's call the distance she walks in 10 minutes x.
We can set up a proportion to solve this problem. We know that $\frac{24}{1}=\frac{10}{x}$.
We can cross multiply to get $24*x=10*1$.
Which simplifies to $24x=10$.
So, $x=\frac{10}{24}$.
Which is $0.4$ miles.
