Question

A hot-air balloon flew at 10 miles per hour. Using the variable h, write and solve a multiplication equation to find how many hours the balloon traveled if it covered a distance of 70 miles.

Answer 1

`h=(70\ miles)/(10\ miles/hr)`

`h=7\ hours`

Explanation:

Speed at which hot-air balloon flew = 10 miles/hr

Distance covered by balloon = 70 miles

Number of hours for which the balloon traveled
`h` =
`(Distance)/(Speed)`

So,
`h=(70\ miles)/(10\ miles/hr)`

∴
`h=7\ hours`
