Question

A boat travels 496 miles in 124 hours ( with a constant speed ). How much time will it take traveling 440 miles?

Answer 1

110 hrs
basically you divide 496 by 124 to get 4. And then divide 440 by 4 to get 110.

Answer 2

Answer: 110 hrs

Explanation:

-To figure out the amount of time, you first need to have this:

`(496)/(124) =(440)/(x)`

-Then, you cross multiply:

`496` ×
`x` =
`496x`

`124` ×
`440` =
`54560`

`496x = 54560`

-Divide both sides by
`496`:

`(496x)/(496) =(54560)/(496)`

`x=110`

-Result:

`110`
