Solving Proportions N-Gen Math 7

If the car traveled 425 miles, set up and solve a proportion that could be used to find the time, t, it had been driving

Answer 1

To find the time the car had been driving, set up a proportion using the given information. Let x be the time in hours. The time the car had been driving is 425/x hours.

To find the time, t, the car had been driving, we can set up a proportion using the given information. Let x be the time in hours. The proportion is:

x/425 = t/1

Cross multiplying, we get xt = 425. Dividing both sides by x, we find that:

t = 425/x

So, the time the car had been driving is 425/x hours.
