please helpp!!!You are stuck in a big traffic jam on the freeway and you are wondering how long it will take to get to the next exit, which is miles away. You are timing your progress and find that you can travel of a mile in one hour. If you continue to make progress at this rate, how long will it be until you reach the exit? Solve the problem with a diagram and explain your answer.

It all depends how many miles the exit is away from you. If it were to be 5 miles then it would take you five hours to reach the exit. For a more accurate answer, it would help to know how many miles it is to reach the exit.
