Question 716491: if you are travaling the distance of 50 miles an the rate is 25 miles per hour whats the time

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your proportion should always have the units in the same place in both terms for example in this situation: miles/time = miles/time
Plug in what you know from the word problem:
25miles/1hour = 50miles/'x'hours
CROSS MULTIPLY
25x=50
Divide both sides by 25 to get x alone
x=2
Don't forget the units that the question is asking for. 2 hours
