Question

The Andersons traveled 90 miles in 75 minutes.

At this rate, how far would they travel in 2 hours?

A. 144 mi

B. 165 mi

C. 180 mi

D. 5400 mi

Answer 1

I believe it's A.

Answer 2

I would side with TheScottishLion. The way to get it would go like.. To get speed in miles / hour first convert 75 minutes into hour (rather trivial) -> 1.25 or 1 1/4.

Then divide the distance travelled so far through the speed to get it in miles / hour. And the result multiplied with required two hours would give you the answer.

Does it make sense?

Answer 3

(90/75)*2*60=144
