Please show work I am super stuck!
During a certain period of time, a car can cover the distance of 120 miles, going at an average speed of 55 mph. What distance over the same period of time would cover a truck, going at an average speed of 44 mph?
Thanks so much!!!!!!

Respuesta :

If the car can travels 120 miles in h hours at 55 mph, then it took 120/55 hours to travel that far. Since we calculated that it took 120/55 hours or approx. 2 h and 10 min to travel 120 miles, let's plug this in for 44 mph. To find the answer, you have to multiply 120/55 by 44 to get the distance in miles; 120*44/55= 5280/55= 96 miles. The answer, therefore, is 96 miles. Please do not memorize this answer, memorize the strategy to solving the answer.
