A train is traveling at 100 miles per hour, from charlotte to atlanta. The total distance the train traveled was 400 miles.How long did it take for the train to travel from charlottw to atlanta

Respuesta :

It took the train 4 hours to travel the 400 miles.

If it takes 1 hour to travel 100 miles, then we are finding how much it takes to travel 400. 400 hundred is four times the amount of 100, so if we are converting 100 to 400, then we must also convert 1 hour to x hours using the same process. Since 1 times 4 is 4, then we know that it took 4 hours to travel the 400 miles.

100/1 = 400/4 ---> both of the fractions are the same/they have the same ratio

I hope this helped, and I wish you much luck on your math journey!
