Question

A car travels 0.75 miles every minute. Explain how you could use proportional reasoning to find how far the car travels in one hour.

Answer 1

0.75 miles ⇒ 1 minute

There are 60 minutes in one-hour ⇒ This statement is the proportional reasoning part

60 minutes ⇒ 0.75×60 = 45 miles

Answer 2

The car will travel for 45 miles in one hour.

Since the car travels 0.75 miles every minute, therefore, 0.75 miles = 1 minute.

Note that 60 minutes = 1 hour.

Therefore, using proportional reasoning to find how far the car travels in one hour will be:

0.75/1 = d/60

d = 0.75 × 60.

d = 45

Therefore, the car will travel for 45 miles in one hour.
