Answer 1

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

810 - 180 = 630

630/ 90 = 7

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7 h

Explanation:

First, we write the data of the problem.

Alex travels 810 miles away

Train - 90 miles / h

Alex covers 180 miles.

How many hours does Alex walk in the distance?

1. Calculate the distance Alex still has to travel.

 810 miles - 180 miles = 630 miles

2. We take into account the speed of the train to calculate how many hours Alex will cover the remaining distance.

90 miles .... 1 h

630 miles .... x h

x = 630 milesx1h / 90 miles

x = 7 h
