Question

A hot air balloon travels 18 miles in 3 hours. At this rate, how many miles will it travel in 3/4 of an hour

Answer 1

4.5 miles

Explanation

Figure out how far the hot air balloon travelled in 1 hour - 3 hours can be divided by 3 for 1 hour, so do the same for the miles - 18 / 3 = 6

So basically, the hot air balloon travelled 6 miles in 1 hour.

Now, you can work out 3/4 of 6 for 3/4 of 1 hour - 3/4 * 6 = 4.5 miles
