Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 1/2 miles in 2 1/4 minutes. How far will it travel in 46 minuets? In 1 hour?

Answer 1

30.667, in 1 hour = 40 miles

Explanation:

Set up a proportion so 1.5 miles / 2.25 minutes.

So 1.5/2.25 = x/46

solve for x 1.5(46)/2.25 = x so x = 30.667

In one hour is 60 minutes so 1.5(60)/2.25 = x
