Question

On their vacation, Vanessa’s family drove 450 miles in 9 hours. Write and solve a proportion to show how long it would take them to drive 750 miles.

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

Vanessa's family drove 450 in 9 hours

To find how many miles per hour

450/9 = 50

750/50 = 15

50 x 15 = 750

Answer is 15

Answer 2

450/9 = 750/x

750 x 9 = 6,750

6,750/450 = 15

It would take them 15 hours to drive 750 miles.
