Answer:
864 mi.
In 12 miles she would drive 864 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer to this we can set up two proportions (or fractions) and set them equal to one another:
504/7 = X/12
Multiply both sides by 12 to get the variable alone
(504x12)/7 = X
6048/7 = X
X = 864
In 12 miles she would drive 864 miles
Double check:
7x1.5= 10.5
504x1.5= 756
7x2= 14
504x2= 1008
12 is between 10.5 and 14
864 is between 756 and 1008
Answer checks out :)
