Question

A car travels 0.75 miles every minute. Explain how you could use proportional reasoning to find how far the car travels in one hour

Answer 1

in a hour 60 minutes and just multiply 0.75 by 60 and the answer is 45 miles per hour .

just copy and past

Answer 2

45 miles.

Explanation:

The car is traveling 0.75 miles every minute.

So, we can write that the car is moving in a minute 0.75 miles.

Here, the distance traveled by car is proportional to the time of travel i.e. the rate of distance traveled per minute is constant.

Hence, in 1 hour i.e. 60 minutes the car will travel by (0.75 × 60) = 45 miles. (Answer)
