PLEASE HELP A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 1/2 miles in 2 1/4 minutes. How far will it travel in 46 minuets? In 1 hour?

30.667, in 1 hour = 40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion so 1.5 miles / 2.25 minutes.

So 1.5/2.25 = x/46

solve for x 1.5(46)/2.25 = x so x = 30.667

In one hour is 60 minutes so  1.5(60)/2.25 = x

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

both equations and proportions are better.
