Question

Theo drove 236 miles in 4 hours. Lex drove 195 miles in 3 hours. At those rates, could either man drive 116 miles in 2 hours? Show your work, please!

^﹏^

Answer 1

No.

Explanation:

236÷4=59

&

195÷3=65

To check if either of them drove 116 miles in 2 hours, I would multiply the sum of the division problems by 2(for 2 hours).

59 x 2 = 118

&

65 x 2 = 130

None of them equals 116, meaning neither of them drove 116 miles in 2 hours.

Hope I helped you! Have a great day! :)
