Traveling at a constant speed, a race car goes 15 miles every 6 minutes. For each of the following, show how to use a ratio table and proportional reasoning to solve:
--------
a. How long does it take the race car to go 20 miles
15/6 = 20/t
15t = 120
t = 8 minutes
===================
b. How far does the race car go in 15 minutes?
15/6 = d/15
6d = 225
d = 37.5 miles
