please help

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

3 hours and 30 minutes equals 3.5 hours

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Can you solve it now?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\begin{array}{ccllll} miles&hours \\\hline\\ 238&3.5\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{238}{x}=\cfrac{3.5}{1}\)

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Actually, since they want miles per hour shouldn't the equation be: x = 238/3.5 ?
