Question

An airplane covers 3500 km in three hours. What would be the distance covered by the plane in 4.5 hours if it flies at the same constant speed. ( I need the proportion equation please help ASAP.)

Answer 1

5,250 km

Explanation:

`(hours)/(miles)` =
`(hours)/(miles)`

`(3)/(3500)` =
`(4.5)/(x)` Cross Multiply

3x = (4.5)(3500)

3x = 15750 Divide both sides of the equation by 3

x = 5,250
