Question

On his bike, Jason can travel 8 miles in 50 minutes.

At this rate, how far can Jason travel in 150 minutes.

Answer 1

Jason can travel 24 miles in 150 minutes.

Explanation:

8= miles. 50&150= mins

8=50.

Your trying to find how many miles Jason can travel in 150 mins. So your going to divide the new amount of minutes to the old amount.

150÷50= 3.

So since 50 can go into 150 3 full times that means you will multiply the original amount of miles by 3 to get your new amount.

3×8= 24

So, if Jason can travel 8 miles in 50 mins (8=50) Then, he can travel 24 miles in 150 mins (24=150)

Hope this wasn't too confusing,

Hope this helps!
