Question

A glacier moves about 12 inches every 36 hours. About how far does the glacier move in one week?

Answer 1

Hey, a good way to do this problem is by finding out how many inches does it move in 24 hours.

Answer 2

168/36=4.6X12=56. Correct me if im wrong

Answer 3

Or you can set it up as so, \[\frac{ 12 inches }{ 36 hours } = \frac{ x }{ }\]

Answer 4

x/ 168 hours

Answer 5

I did that but I didn't know what to do from there

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 12inches }{ 36h } = \frac{ x }{ 168h }\]

Answer 7

Oh you have to cross multiply
