Question

If you travel 1800 miles in 24 hours, what is the amount of time it would take you to travel 300 miles??

Answer 1

Your speed:

1800 / 24 miles / hours

Then for 300 miles:

t = 300 / (1800/24) = 4 hours

Answer 2

1800 mi = 24 hrs
300 mi = x hrs

Cross multiply:

1800x = 7200
x = 4

It would take 4 hours.
