Triangles with the same shape but different size are proportional. Proportional means that their side lengths form equal ratios. To solve for x, set up a proportion.
The ratios we will create will be where each long and short are corresponding sides from each triangle.
So write:
To solve, cross multiply numerator with denominator.
150 because if it is going 420 in 14 hours you divide 420 by 14 which gives you 30 and then you multiply 30 x 5 and you get 150 so the bird goes 150 miles in 5 hours
