Question

Latoya drove 585 miles in 9 hours.

At the same rate, how many miles would she drive in 5 hours?

Answer 1

Proportion

`(x)/(5)=(585)/(9)\\\\ (x)/(5)=(65)/(1)\\\\ 1* x=5* 65\\\\ x=325` miles in 5 hours

Answer 2

585/9 = 65 miles per hour

65 x 5 = 325 miles

she would drive 325 miles in 5 hours
