Question

Traveling at 55 miles per hour, how many minutes, rounded to the nearest whole number, does it take to drive 310 miles from Boston to Syracuse?

Answer 1

speed = distance / time
55 = 310 / x where x is the time in hours
solve for x then convert hours to minutes

Answer 2

cross multiply
55x = 310
now divide both sides by 55
x = 310/55 hours

when you;ve worked that out multiply by 60 to give the time in minutes.

Answer 5

1 hr = 60 minutes

now we will set up a proportion
55/60 = 310/x --- 55 miles to 60 minutes = 310 miles to x minutes
cross multiply
(55)(x) = (60)(310)
55x = 18600
x = 18600/55
x = 338 2/11 to the nearest whole number is 338
