Answer 1

372/6=62 meaning they are traveling 62 mph 279/62=4.5 so it will take them 4.5 hours to travel 279 miles

Answer 2

It takes 4.5 hours to travel 279 miles or it takes 4 hours 30 minutes to travel 279 miles

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It takes 6 hours to travel 372 miles

It can be written as:

6 hours = 372 miles

6 hours ÷ 372 = 1 miles

`1\ miles = (6\ hours)/(372)`

Now we need to calculate how many hours will it take to travel 279.

Multiply both the sides by 279.

`1\ miles * 279= (6\ hours)/(372)* 279`

`279\ miles = 0.01613\ hours * 279`

`279\ miles = 4.5\ hours`

We can convert 4.5 hours into minutes:

Here 0.5 represents the half of 60 minutes i.e 30 minutes.

Thus it take 4 hours 30 minutes to travel 279 miles.

Hence, it takes 4.5 hours to travel 279 miles or it takes 4 hours 30 minutes to travel 279 miles
