Answer:

Explanation:

You can see that if you travel 80 miles in 1 hour then you travel 160 miles in 2 hours and then 240 miles in 3 hours but that doesn't help you when the miles we need to travel isn't as easy to determine. Set up a proportion:

80miles/1 hour = 250. miles/x hours

80 x = 250 and then divide both sides by 80.

answer Is 250/80 which is 3.125
