Question

Sammy’s dad drove their car 150 miles in three hours. At this rate, how far would he drive in nine hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sammy's dad traveled 450 miles in 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

mph = $\frac{Miles}{Hours}$

Miles = 150

Hours = 3

Plug into the formula of distance/time

$\frac{150}{3} = 50mph$

Sammy's dad is driving at 50mph

In three hours you can use this formula:  $50mph=\frac{miles}{9}$

Multiply both sides by 9:  $50mph * 9 =\frac{miles}{9} *9$

Solve:

$50mph * 9 =miles$

$450 =miles$

Sammy's dad traveled 450 miles in 9 hours.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

distance in 3 hours = 150 miles

distance in 1 hour = 150/3 = 50 miles

distance in 9 hours = 50 × 9 = 450 miles
