Answer:
We can write proportion as:
[tex]\frac{\mathbf{30\:miles}}{1.5\:hours}=\mathbf{\frac{x\:miles}{4\:hours}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A cyclist rides at a constant speed, traveling 30 miles in 1.5 hours. Write a proportion that gives the number x of miles the cyclist rides in 4 hours
Proportion:
A proportion is used when two ratios are equal. It can be written as a/b=c/d
In our case we have:
a= 30 miles
b = 1.5 hours
c = x miles
d = 4 hours
We can write proportion as:
[tex]\frac{\mathbf{30\:miles}}{1.5\:hours}=\mathbf{\frac{x\:miles}{4\:hours}}[/tex]
