You can put this solution on YOUR website! If it takes 1.5 hours to fly from city A to city B, and it takes 9 hours to fly from city A to city C, how much greater is the distance between cities A and C than between cities A and B?
-----------------
9 hours = 6*1.5 hours
--> 6 times as far
----
If d = distance from A to B, then 6d = distance from A to C
6d is 5d greater than d, so it's
5 times greater.
6 times as great.
