Steve and Carl are driving from Scranton to Bridgeport, a distance of 180 miles. If their speed averages
60 miles an hour, how long will it take them to get there?
A. 3.5 hours
B. 3 hours
C. 2.5 hours
D. 4 hours
The answer is B every hour, Steve and Carl cover 60 miles if they need to cover 180 miles it will take them 3 hours you can set up a proportion 60/1=180x where x is the amount of hours Steve and Carl will drive to cover 180 miles. proportion simplifies to this: 60x=180 isolate the varible 60x/60=180/60 x=3
