A jet travels 100 miles in 1 hour. If in 5 hours, a jet travels 500 miles, you obviously have to divide 500 with 5 to get the answer of 1 hour and which gives you 100. So in 1 hour, a jet can travel 100 miles.

500:5

Both numbers are divisible by 5 so

500/5:5/5
Which simplifies to

100:1

Hope this helped!
