Answer:
60 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If it takes 15 hours to travel 900 miles then it gives you the fraction 15/900 where the numerator(top number) is 15 and denominator(bottom number) is 900.
Then to simplify it: since 15 is a common factor of itself(15) and 900, 15/15 = 1(1 hour) and 900/15 = 60(60 miles).
I believe a qualitative prediction requires a prediction with out any numerical data to support it while a quantitative predictions require a prediction supported by numerical data.
A real world example of this is in chemistry during a lab. qualitative data is based off of observation with out numerical data such as a color change. quantitative data is based off of observation with numerical data such as the mass changes.
(quantitative prediction is decision from data based on percentages, probabilities, and so on while qualitative predictions are based off of given information).
I hope this helps and let me know if you need further explaining.
