Question

A bus travels 36 miles in 60 minutes. At the same rate, what distance will
the bus travel in 90 minutes? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

This way seems to make a lot more sense to me:

Solve for X.

 

(45 minutes)/(60 minutes) = (36 miles)/X

 

Multipy both sides by X/1.

 

(45 minutes)/(60 minutes) * X = (36 miles)

 

Simplify.

 

0.75 * X = (36 miles)

 

Divide both sides by 0.75.

 

X = (36 miles)/.75

 

X = 48 miles

 

So, the answer is the bus travels 48 miles in 60 minutes at that constant rate

Answer 2

Answer: its a long answer

Explanation:

(45 minutes)/(60 minutes) = (36 miles)/X

 

Multipy both sides by X/1.

 

(45 minutes)/(60 minutes) * X = (36 miles)

 

Simplify.

 

0.75 * X = (36 miles)

 

Divide both sides by 0.75.

 

X = (36 miles)/.75

 

X = 48 miles

 

So, the answer is the bus travels 48 miles in 60 minutes at that constant ra
