Question

Thuy drives 270 miles in 6 hours. How many miles does Thuy drive in 13 hours? 455 miles 585 miles 624 miles 715 miles

Answer 1

he drives 270 miles in 6 hours and 6x2= 12 so we are going to divide 270 in 6.
270%6= 45.
Now we multiply: 270x2=540
and we add 45 that equals an hour of driving.
540+45= 585
Now we got 13 hours of driving
Thuy drives 585 miles in 13 hours.

Answer 2

One way you can solve this is with proportions/ratios with multiplication

`(270miles)/(6hours) = (X miles)/(13hours)`

Cross Multiply

`(270 miles)(13 hours)=(X miles)(6 hours)`

`3510=6X`

`(3510)/(6) = (6X)/(6)`

`585 miles=X`

The answer is 585 miles
