Answer:

52 miles

Explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve this problem. Let put miles over time. We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes. We need to have the units the same.

130 miles x miles

-------------- = ---------------

150 minutes 60 minutes

Using cross products

130 * 60 = 150 x

Divide each side by 150

130/150 * 60 = 150x/150

52 =x
