Answer:

  4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rates are the same, we have the proportion ...

  (Josh's time)/(Josh's distance) = (Kate's time)/(Kate's distance)

Solving for Josh's time, we get ...

  Josh's time = (Kate's time)(Josh's distance)/(Kate's distance)

  Josh's time = (10 minutes)(2 miles)/(5 miles)

  Josh's time = (10·2)/5 minutes = 4 minutes

It will take Josh 4 minutes to reach the school.
