Question

The Smiths drove 2,500 miles in 75 hours. At this rate, how long will it take them to drive 3,000 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

so we need to find out how long it would take to drive another 500 miles as:

3000 - 2500 = 500 miles left

if we divide 2500 by 500 we get 5.

because we did that to the miles, we need to do the same to the time.

75/5= 15 hours

so it takes 15 hours to drive 500 miles.

if we add 2500 with 500 it gives us 3000.

so the answer is 15 hours

I'm really bad at explaining but i hope this helps you
