If the truck makes 30 miles in 25 minutes, find the time it will need to cover 25 miles

Answer 1

x =20.83333333 minutes

x = 20 5/6 minutes

Explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

30 miles 25 miles

--------------- = ---------------

25 minutes x minutes

Using cross products

30 * x = 25*25

30x =625

Divide each side by 30

30x/30 = 625/30

x =20.83333333 minutes

x = 20 5/6 minutes
