Question

Shen drove 335 miles in 5 hours.
At the same rate, how many miles would he drive in 9 hours?

Answer 1

603 Miles

Explanation:

You first want to find the rate at which you are traveling by taking the total miles by the amount of time:

335/5 = 67mph

You then multiply the mph by the total hours and would get 603 Miles

Answer 2

603 miles

Explanation:

Let's make a proportion:

335 miles - 5h

x miles - 9h

Use the property of the proportion to find x (cross-multiply):

`x = (9 * 335)/(5) = 603 \: miles`
