Question

Alvin is taking a bus on a ski trip. The bus travel to 174 miles The bus travel to 174 miles In the first three hours of the trip. If the ski resort is 696 miles from his home which proportion could Alvin use to predict how many hours the bus trips up to the ski resort

Answer 1

Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use direct proportion to solve this, we need to calculate the constant of proportionality first. This will be:

y = kx

where y = 174

x = 3

k = 174/3

k = 58 miles per hour

If the ski resort is 696 miles from his home, the number of hours used will be:

= 696/58

= 12 hours
