Question

DRIVING A driver’s distance varies directly as the amount of time traveled. After 6

hours, a driver had traveled 390 miles. How far had the driver traveled after 4 hours?
A 130 miles B 220 miles C 260 miles D 650 miles

Answer 1

260

Explanation:

you would divide 390 by 6 to see how many hours were drove per hour, which is 65. You would then multiply it by 4 to see how far they drove in 4 hours, and you get 260. To prove this is right for sure you could multiply 65x2 which is 130 and add 130+260 which would make up the 6 hours and you’d get 390

Answer 2

Answer: C 260

Explanation:

1. divide 390 by 6 to find the unit rate

390/ 6 = 65

2. Multiply the unit rate by 4

4 x 65 = 260

Your answer is 260.
