Question

On number 9, you have to figure out the value of X. I attempted to solve the equation and got the answer of 46. Am I correct?

Answer 1

From the number line given, we have the miles increasing from x all the way to 184. Similarly, we have the hours increasing all the way from 4 to 16.

To find out the value of x, we need to set up an equation that uses the ratio of both miles and hours. This is shown below;

`(x)/(4)=(184)/(16)`

We now cross multiply and we have;

`\begin{gathered} x=(4*184)/(16) \\ x=(184)/(4) \\ x=46 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

`x=46`
