    time = 70 minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    According to the question the whole race is 10 kilometer. It takes her 17. 5 minutes to cover a distance of 2.5 km.

    The rate the runner used to cover the distance of 2.5 km can be computed as follows:

    rate = distance / time

    distance = 2.5 km

    time = 17.5 minutes

    rate = 2.5/17.5

    rate = 0.14285714285 kilometer/minutes

    rate = 0.14285714285 km/min

    Use the rate to calculate for the time the runner used for the whole distance of 10 km

    rate = distance/time

    rate = 0.14285714285 km/min

    distance = 10 km

    rate = distance/time

    cross multiply

    time = distance/rate

    time = 10/0.14285714285

    time = 70 minutes

    time = 70 minutes
