the move common sense way is to figure out the speed

Answer 5

if you drive 125 in 2.5 hours, what is your speed?

Answer 6

50.... I suck in solving fractions

Answer 7

first you need to find the speed in `miles/hours`.
if he drove 125 miles in 2, 1/2 hours
(which is same as 125 miles in 5/2 hours)

So how many miles in 1 hour would that be?

Answer 8

you said it was 50, which is correct.

Now, knowing that he drives 50 miles per 1 hour, how much will he drive in 6 hours?

Answer 9

300 ;)
