Yes. The car will travel 40 miles in an hour.
A certain Car Travels 14 miles in 21 minutes. If the car continues at the same speed how many miles can it go in 1 Hour
One way to solve this problem is by setting up a proportion. Let x = the miles the car can go in one hour.
14 / 21 = x / 60
x = _____

Yes, you're correct! The car can travel 40 miles in one hour.
To solve the problem, we set up a proportion using the information given:
14 miles / 21 minutes = x miles / 60 minutes
Now, to find x (the number of miles the car can go in one hour), we cross multiply:
14 * 60 = 21 * x
840 = 21x
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 21 to solve for x:
x = 840 / 21
x = 40
So, the car can travel 40 miles in one hour if it continues at the same speed.
