Question

lanette drove 248 miles in 4 hours. at that rate, how many hours will it take her to drive an additional 93 miles.

Answer 1

`\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} miles&hours\\ \textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\ 248&4\\ 93&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{248}{93}=\cfrac{4}{x}`

solve for "x"

Answer 2

1.5 hours

Explanation:

the rate is

`(248 miles)/( 4 hours)` = 62 miles /hour

with that rate ,let´s calculate the time

`(Distance)/(rate of speed) =time\\time=(93 miles)/(( 62 miles)/(hour) ) =1.5 hours`
