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

Sammy's dad traveled 450 miles in 9 hours.

Explanation:

mph =
`(Miles)/(Hours)`

Miles = 150

Hours = 3

Plug into the formula of distance/time

`(150)/(3) = 50mph`

Sammy's dad is driving at 50mph

In three hours you can use this formula:
`50mph=(miles)/(9)`

Multiply both sides by 9:
`50mph * 9 =(miles)/(9) *9`

Solve:

`50mph * 9 =miles`

`450 =miles`

Sammy's dad traveled 450 miles in 9 hours.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

distance in 3 hours = 150 miles

distance in 1 hour = 150/3 = 50 miles

distance in 9 hours = 50 × 9 = 450 miles
