Question

An airplane traveled 5000 miles in 10

hours. How many miles did it travel in
3 hours?
I

Answer 1

Explanation:

Assuming it traveled at a constant speed, you can set up a proportion

`(5000)/(10) = (x)/(3)`

X = (3*5000)/10

X = 1500 miles

Answer 2

Explanation:

Distance traveled in 10 hours = 5,000 miles

Distance travelled in 3 hours = 5,000 * (3/10)

= 1,500 miles.

Hence the airplane travelled 1,500 miles in 3 hours.
