Question

Mr. Ortiz's car drives 12 miles in 20 minutes. Use a model to find out how many miles his car drives in 1 HOUR.

Answer 1

36 miles

Explanation:

Since there are 60 minutes in a hour, you can see that 20 minutes is a third of that time. To find the answer, you multiply the values by 3 to equal on hour. 20x3 = 60 and 12x3 = 36, meaning he drove 36 miles in a hour.
