Answer:
It takes 4.5 hours to travel 279 miles or it takes 4 hours 30 minutes to travel 279 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
It takes 6 hours to travel 372 miles
It can be written as:
6 hours = 372 miles
6 hours ÷ 372 = 1 miles
\(1\ miles = \frac{6\ hours}{372}\)
Now we need to calculate how many hours will it take to travel 279.
Multiply both the sides by 279.
\(1\ miles \times 279= \frac{6\ hours}{372}\times 279\)
\(279\ miles = 0.01613\ hours \times 279\)
\(279\ miles = 4.5\ hours\)
We can convert 4.5 hours into minutes:
Here 0.5 represents the half of 60 minutes i.e 30 minutes.
Thus it take 4 hours 30 minutes to travel 279 miles.
Hence, it takes 4.5 hours to travel 279 miles or it takes 4 hours 30 minutes to travel 279 miles
