The distance traveled at a constant speed is directly proportional to the time of travel. If Olivia traveled 306 miles in 8.5 hours, how many miles will Olivia travel in 9.1 hours at the same constant speed?

Question

anonymous · Answer

306/8.5 = x/9.1 (306 miles to 8.5 hrs = x miles to 9.1 hrs)
Now cross multiply
(8.5)(x) = (306)(9.1)
solve for x

anonymous · Answer

D = vt  D1 = 306 miles , t1 = 8.5 hours 
constant ,v = 306 / 8.5
NOW if t2 =  9.1 hours , D2 = v t = ( 306/8.5) x 9.1 = ____
