The distance traveled at a constant speed varies directly as the time traveled. Denny traveled 312 miles in 6 hours. How far he travel in 4 hours 1/2 hours?
Denny traveled 312 miles in 6 hours. Divide 312 by 6 to get the miles per hour.
312%2F6+=+52. In 4.5 hours he traveled 52%2A4.5+=+234.
Denny traveled 234 miles in 4 1/2 hours.
