Socorro drove 4 5/6 hours at 60 miles per hour what distance did she travel

Sagot :

1) Let's find that out by setting a proportion.

4 5/6 hours

60 miles per hour

miles (distance) -----------------time elapsed

x 4 5/6 h

60 1

2) Let's turn that mixed number into an improper fraction to easily deal with it

[tex]4\frac{5}{6}=\frac{6\cdot4+5}{6}=\frac{29}{6}[/tex]

Setting the proportion:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{60}=\frac{\frac{29}{6}}{1} \\ \frac{x}{60}=\frac{29}{6} \\ 6x\text{ = 29}\cdot60 \\ x=290 \end{gathered}[/tex]

3) So Socorro traveled 290 miles
