Question

A car travels 360 miles in 6 hours. How far will it travel in 15 hours

Answer 1

360 miles in 6 hours                                   I also did it by 1 hour to make sure it

? miles in 15 hours                                     would be correct and here is my work

6/360 set equal to 15/x                               6/360 set equal to 1/x

cross multiply so you will get                      cross multiply

6x=5400                                                      6x=360

divide by 6 on both sides                             divide both sides by 6

x=900 miles                                                 x=60 miles

                                                                    then you can multiply 60 miles by 15

                                                                    and you will get 900 miles

Answer 2

Hello there, my fellow human being!

So, first we have to find the unit rate to figure out how much miles the car travels in 1 hour360/6 = 60. The car travels 60 miles in one hour.

Now, lets figure out how much it travels in 15 hours by multiplying 15 with 60.
60*15 = 900. 
So, the car will 900 miles in 15 hours.

Hope this helped!
