Question

Cheyenne drove 3000 miles in 75 hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to drive 4000 miles?

Answer 1

set up a proportion:

`(3000)/(75)`=
`(4000)/(x)`
To solve cross multiply:
3000x=300000
divide both sides by 3000:
3000x/3000=300000/3000
x=100

It will take her 100 hours to drive 4000 miles assuming she continues to travel at this rate.

Answer 2

100 hours is your answer
3000/75=40mph
4000/40=100 hours
