Question

If you drive at 35 mph for 4 hours how far will you go?

Answer 1

x = 140 miles

Explanation:

This can be expressed as a proportion:

`35/1` = `x/4`, where 35 and x represent the number of miles while 1 and 4 represent the number of hours. Cross-multiply to solve.

x = `35 * 4`

x = 140 miles
