Answer:

Explanation:

First, we need to find the rate. miles/hours. 3000/75 = 40mph (miles per hour). to find the answer we need to divide the rate by the distance they want us to find. to see a deeper explanation of why scroll past the answer. 4000/40 = 100 hours.

deeper explanation:

we can set the numbers given to us equal to what we are looking for.

miles/hour

3000/75 = 4000/x x being the time we are looking for

cross multiply 3000x=300000

divide by 3000 x=100 hours
