<PRE><B>Question 220996</B>
Mr. Owens traveled 623 miles in 7 hours.  At the same rate, how many miles will he travel in 9 hours?


Step 1.  speed = distance/time = 623 miles/ 7 hours =623/7 mph


Step 2.  623/7=x/9 where x is the number of miles traveled in 9 hours.


Step 3.  Then x=623*9/7=801 where we multiplied by 9 to both sides of the equation in Step 2.


Step 4.  ANSWER:  Mr. Owens traveled 801 miles in 9 hours.


I hope the above steps were helpful.
