Question

Shannon drove for 540 minutes. If she traveled 65 miles per hour, how many miles total did she travel

Answer 1

keeping in mind that 1 hour is really 60 minutes, then

`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&minutes\\ \cline{1-2} 65&60\\ x&540 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{65}{x}=\cfrac{60}{540}\implies \cfrac{65}{x}=\cfrac{1}{9}\implies 585=x`
