Michael drove 754 miles in 13 hours. At the same rate, how many miles would he drive in 8 hours?
To find out how many miles Michael would drive in 8 hours at the same rate, we can set up a proportion.
Let's set up the proportion:
miles driven / hours driven = miles driven / hours driven
The proportion can be written as follows:
754 miles / 13 hours = x miles / 8 hours
To solve for x, we cross-multiply and divide:
(754 miles) × (8 hours) = (13 hours) × x miles
6032 miles = 13x miles
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 13:
6032 miles / 13 = x miles
x ≈ 464 miles
Therefore, Michael would drive approximately 464 miles in 8 hours at the same rate.
To find out how many miles Michael would drive in 8 hours at the same rate, we can set up a proportion.
Since we know that Michael drove 754 miles in 13 hours, we can set up the proportion as:
754 miles / 13 hours = x miles / 8 hours
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
754 miles * 8 hours = 13 hours * x miles
Then, divide both sides by 13 hours to isolate x:
(754 miles * 8 hours) / 13 hours = x miles
Now, let's do the math:
(6032 miles) / 13 hours = x miles
Calculating further:
463.692 miles ≈ x
Therefore, Michael would drive approximately 463.692 miles in 8 hours at the same rate.
dividing 754 by 13 will give you the distance per hour
you then have to multiply by 8
or
use a simple ratio:
x/8 = 754/13
x = 8*754/13 =......
