Martina drove 737 miles in 11 hours. At the same rate, how long would it take her to drive 335 miles?

Here are two ways to solve

Method 1

First determine her speed if she goes 737 miles in 11 hours.

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

737 = r*11

737 = 11r

11r = 737

r = 737/11

r = 67

Her speed is 67 mph. Use this to find how long it would take if she drove 335 miles.

d = r*t

d/r = t

t = d/r

t = 335/67

t = 5 hours is the time it takes to drive 335 miles assuming Martina drives at the same speed.

Method 2

We can use a proportion to solve

(distance 1)/(time 1) = (distance 2)/(time 2)

(737 miles)/(11 hours) = (335 miles)/(x hours)

737/11 = 335/x

737*x = 335*11 cross multiply

737x = 3685

x = 3685/737 divide both sides by 737

x = 5

We get the same answer of 5 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
