Question

the distance that Brad travels varies directly with the time spent traveling. Brad traveled 660 miles in 12 hours. How many miles could brad travel in 4? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 4 hours, Brad will travel 220 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create the direct variation model-

y = kx

y- represents the total miles

x- represents hours

660 = k12

660/12 = k

k = 55

Model:

y = 55x

Replace x with 4:

y = 55(4)

y = 220

In 4 hours, Brad will travel 220 miles.

The answer is 220 miles.

Answer 2

$\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{We know that Brad traveled 660 miles in 12 hours. However, we need to}\\\text{find how many miles he traveled in 4 hours}\\\\\text{First, we need to find how many miles he can travel per hour}\\\\\text{Do this by dividing 660 by 12}\\\\660\div12=55\\\\\text{Now multiply 55 by 4 in order to see how many miles he traveled in 4 hours}\\\\55*4=220\\\\\boxed{\text{Answer: 220 miles}}$
