A subway train travels at a rate of 50 miles per hour. Write and solve an equation to find the number of minutes it take for the train to travel 10 miles.

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

 50 miles      =    10 miles                  << Equivalent

   1 hour        =          x                        <<   fraction

You divide 50 by 5 to get 10,

so to get the number of minutes for 10 miles,

divide 60 by 5.

(1 hour =  60 minutes, 60/5 = 12)
