Question Alice drove from the town of Everett to the town of Gage at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. If she
Grove for 40 minutes, how far did she travel? (1 hour = 60 minutes)

45 miles per hour is equal to 45 miles per 60 minutes. Let’s make it into a ratio, 45:60, and simplify it to 3:4 by dividing each by 15. Now, we can multiply the simplified ratio by 10 to get 30:40, which translates to 30 miles in 40 minutes.

30 miles
