Question 780570: You are traveling down the interstate averaging 50mph. How much time bass passed when you have traveled 120 miles?
I have tried this problem by setting up a proportion I had (1/50 and the 120/x ) I ended up getting 6000 as my answer it doesn’t seem quite reasonable. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are traveling down the interstate averaging 50mph. How much time bass passed when you have traveled 120 miles?
I have tried this problem by setting up a proportion I had (1/50 and the 120/x ) I ended up getting 6000 as my answer it doesn’t seem quite reasonable.
-------------------
d = r*t
t = d/r
t = 120/50
t = 2.4 hours

setting up a proportion I had (1/50 and the 120/x )

When you use proportions, include the units.

(1/50 and the 120/x )
1 hr/50 mi = 120 mi/x hr
The units don't match --> something's wrong.
50 mi/1 hr = 120 mi/x hr
50x = 120
x = 2.4 hours
