Answer: its a long answer

Step-by-step explanation:

(45 minutes)/(60 minutes) = (36 miles)/X

Multipy both sides by X/1.

(45 minutes)/(60 minutes) * X = (36 miles)

Simplify.

0.75 * X = (36 miles)

Divide both sides by 0.75.

X = (36 miles)/.75

X = 48 miles

So, the answer is the bus travels 48 miles in 60 minutes at that constant ra

Answer:

This way seems to make a lot more sense to me:

Solve for X.

(45 minutes)/(60 minutes) = (36 miles)/X

Multipy both sides by X/1.

(45 minutes)/(60 minutes) * X = (36 miles)

Simplify.

0.75 * X = (36 miles)

Divide both sides by 0.75.

X = (36 miles)/.75

X = 48 miles

So, the answer is the bus travels 48 miles in 60 minutes at that constant rate
