Question

a motorcyclist traveled a distance of 120 miles in 2 hours. traveling at the same speed how far would this motorcyclist travel in 5 hours?

Answer 1

120/2 = x/5....120 miles to 2 hrs = x miles to 5 hrs
cross multiply
(2)(x) = (120)(5)
2x = 600
x = 600/2
x = 300....the motorcyclist would travel 300 miles in 5 hrs

or u could do it this way..
120/2 = 60 miles per hr
60 * 5 = 300 miles
