Question 475913: driving 45 mph one covers 17 miles in how many seconds

1 hour is 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

45 mph is 45 miles in 3600 seconds

45 miles / 3600 seconds = 17 miles / x seconds {set up a proportion}
45x = 17(3600) {cross-multiplied}
45x = 61,200 {multiplied 17 by 3600}
x = 1,360 {divided both sides by 45}

1,360 seconds for 17 miles
