Hello,
This might help you understand this better. mph is miles per hour, right? What does "per" mean? It means "in each" so we could say "miles in each hour" therefore 75mph is "75 miles in each hour".
If the goes 150 miles then it would take 2 hours. The equation would look like this:
75mph=150/x Multiply both sides by x to get:
75x=150 Now divide each side by 75 to get:
x=2 hours
