When 2 elements combine to form more than one compound. The weight of one element combines with a different weight of the other element then are in a ratio of small whole numbers
In chemistry the law of multiple proportions states that if two elements from more than one compound between them then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers .
If it is traveling at 50mph and needs to reah 300 miles, to figure this problem out you would want to divide 300 by 50 to get 6 hours. So it will take six hours until the car travels 300 miles
