Question

10. If you can travel 97 miles in 30 minutes, how many mileScan you

Answer 1

Answer: 1,552
Explanation: you want to set up a proportion

Ex:

97 X
—- x —
30. 480

The way I got 480 was I converted 8 hours into minutes because you want the same value of measurement.

After this, just cross multiply and you get the equation

46560 = 30mile

Then just isolate the miles (because you are trying to solve for 1 mile

Miles = 1,552

Answer 2

1,552

30 minutes is half of an hour so first you need to multiple 8•2 then you multiple 97 by what 8•2 is (16) that gets you 1552
