Question

The distance to your grandparent's house is 259 miles, and the distance to Atlanta is 555 miles. If it took 7 hours to drive to your grandparent's house, how long would you estimate the drive to Atlanta to take?​

Answer 1

15 Hours

Explanation:

259miles = 7 hours

555miles = x

Cross Multiply

259x = 555×7

259x = 3885

Divide Both sides by 259

x = 3885 ÷ 259

x = 15 hours

It would take the driver 15 hours to get to Atlanta
