Answer: 15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Tonya runs 8 kilometres in 60 minutes.
We know that the rate of distance covered with respect to time is given by :-
\(\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\)
Rate of distance covered with respect to time for Tony=\(\dfrac{8}{60}\)kilometers per minute
Let t be the time taken by her to run 2 kilometers.
Then, Rate of distance covered with respect to time =\(\dfrac{2}{t}\)
If rate remains the same, then we have
\(\dfrac{2}{t}=\dfrac{8}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{60\times2}{8}=15\)
Hence, it would take 15 minutes to run 2 kilometers.
