It took Richard 3 hours to drive 150 miles. What is the ratio of the number of miles he drove to the number of hours it took (miles per hour)?

Answer 1

To determine the ratio of miles per hour, you need to create a fraction by substituting in the value of miles and the value of hours.

In this problem, miles = 150 and hours = 3

Therefore, your miles per hour is written as 150/3.

Since 150 is divisible by 3, you divide 3 into both 150 and 3 to get the ratio of 50/1.

Thus, Richard is driving 50 miles in 1 hour.
