Question

Scott drove 455 miles in 7 hours.

At the same time rate, how long would it take him to drive 325 miles

Answer 1

5 hours

You can think of this as a ratio/proportion…

455 miles: 7 hours,

Then divide by 7 to both sides…

65 miles: 1 hour

Then, you can divide your 325 by the 65 rate to end up with 5 hours…

Answer 2

Answer: 5 hours

Explanation:

455(miles)/7(hrs) = 65 (miles per hour)

325(miles)/65(miles per hour)= 5(hours)
