Question

AI REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS IM STUDYING FOR A TEST ABD MY TEACHER SAID THIS WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS :(

Answer 1

Hello Mya

distance = 34 1/2 mi = 69/2 mi

time = 7 1/4 hr = 29/4 hr

You can set up a proportion.

69/2 mi = 29/4 hr

y mi = 1 hr

solve for y

y = (69/2) / (29/4) = 69/2 x 4/29 = 138/29 = 4 22/29 mi
