An object in the current of the Gulf Stream can move 11 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, about how many miles could the object in the Gulf Stream move in 5 hours?
f 512 g 10 h 2712 j 55
The answer is not given in the answer choices.
To solve the problem:
We can use proportions to solve this problem.
If an object in the Gulf Stream can move 11 miles in 2 hours, then we can set up a proportion:
11 miles / 2 hours = x miles / 5 hours
Solving for x, we get:
x = (11 miles / 2 hours) * 5 hours
x = 27.5 miles
Therefore, the object in the Gulf Stream could move about 27.5 miles in 5 hours.
