Answer:


If \: d \: represents \: the \: distance \: Moby \: travels, \: one \: way \: to \: write \: a \: proportion \: for \: this \: situation \: is \: \\ (240)/(4) = (d)/(10)


Using \: cross \: multiplication \: gives \: us \: a \: new \: equation: \\ 2400 = 4d


The \: final \: step \: is \: to \: divide \: by \: 4, \: which \: tells \: us \: that \: Moby \: can \: travel \: 600 \: miles \: in \: 10 \: hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve.


(240)/(4) = (d)/(10) \\ \\ (4d)/(4) = (2400)/(4) \\ \\ d = 600
