Question

Gabriel drives 80 kilometers in one hour. If he drives at the same speed how many kilometers can he drove in 3.75 hours?

Answer 1

80/1 = x/3.75.....80 km to 1 hr = x km to 3.75 hrs
since this is a proportion, we cross multiply
(1)(x) = (80)(3.75)
x = 300 <== Gabriel can drive 300 km in 3.75 hrs

Answer 2

300 miles

Explanation:

Gabriel drives 80 kilometers in one hour.

Therefore, the speed of Gabriel = 80 km/h

He is driving with same speed for 3.75 hours.

using the relation of speed, distance and time

`Distance=speed * time`

where, speed = 80 km/h

time = 3.75 hours

`Distance = 80* 3.75`

Distance = 300 miles

Hence, Gabriel drove 300 miles in 3.75 hours
