Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Find the unit rate, or how many miles they traveled in one hour, by dividing:

[tex]\frac{392}{7}=56 mph[/tex]

b. Now that we know how fast they were going, we can use it in either a proportion or in the d = rt equation. For the proportion set up, put miles on the top and hours on the bottom and solve for the unknown:

[tex]\frac{mi.}{hr}:\frac{56}{1}=\frac{728}{x}[/tex] and cross multiply to solve for x:

56x = 728 so

13 hours.

Now use the d = rt equation:

728 = 56t so

t = 13 hours
