You can put this solution on YOUR website! 12. This is a ratio problem
In this problem,
multiply both sides by mi answer
-------------------------
13. This is another ratio problem
multiply both sides by 6 defective answer
-------------------------
14. Also a ratio
multiply both sides by minutes which is the same as hours answer
------------------------
15. This can be thought of as a ratio, or use the formula I'll use the formula hrs mi/hr mi answer
You could have come up with a ballpark number just by saying
"11 hours is almost twice 6 hours. The train would travel
almost twice as far, or just under 528 mi."
