Question

Eric drove 248 miles in 4 hours. If he continues to travel at the speed, how far will he go in 7 hours and 30 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

465 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the time in hours to time in minutes, which would give us 4 hours to be 240 minutes and 7 hours 30 minutes to be 450 minutes.

Create a proportion.

$\frac{248 miles}{240 minutes} = \frac{x miles}{450 minutes} \\248*450 = 240x\\111600=240 x\\465 = x$

Answer 2

248/4=62
62•7 1/2=465 miles

He will go 465 miles in 7 hours and 30 minutes
