Question

Karim drove 540 for 5 hours. How far could he drive in 3 hours?

Answer 1

324

Explanation:

Take x as the number of hours.

5x=540

x=108

Then multiply x by 3 so that you have 3 hours rather than 1, doing the same to the other side of the equation, so they stay equal.

3x=324

Answer 2

324 miles

Explanation:

540/5=108 per hour

108*3=324
