SOLUTION: The distance traveled at a constant speed is directly proportional to the time of travel. If Olivia traveled 112 miles in 3.5 hours, how many miles will Olivia travel in 8.9 hours

Question 196973: The distance traveled at a constant speed is directly proportional to the time of travel. If Olivia traveled 112 miles in 3.5 hours, how many miles will Olivia travel in 8.9 hours at the same constant speed?

The distance traveled at a constant speed is directly proportional to the time of travel. If Olivia traveled 112 miles in 3.5 hours, how many miles will Olivia travel in 8.9 hours at the same constant speed?
-----------------
Proportion:
x/8.9 = 112/3.5
---
x = 8.9(112/3.5)
x = 284.8 miles
