Beaumont, Texas, is about 150 miles from Toledo Bend. If Leo Miller leaves Beaumont at 4 a.m. and averages 45 miles per hour, at what time should he arrive at Toledo Bend?

Re: Math Question help plz.

Ray gets up at 4 am. It takes him 1 hour to drive 45 mph. How long will it take him to drive 150 mph?

Your question makes no sense.

Ray had better get another vehicle it it takes it 1 hour to get up to 45 miles per hour.

Hello. I see you edited your post.

It is 150 miles between Texas and Tolendo bay. you are driving 45 miles every hour. You wake up at 4am... what time will it be when you get there?

We can use proportions to figure this out.

45 miles / 1h = 150 miles / x

Lets do some simple algebra, and cross-multiply:

45 * x = 45x
150 * 1h = 150h

so we get 45x = 150h

now to get x by it's self, we do the oppeset of multiplication; we divide 45x by 45 and we do the same to the other side, to balance the equation. We divide 150 by 45

45x/45 = 150/45

x = 150/45

x = 10/3 or appr 3.333 hours

now if you wake up at 4am what time will it be in + 10/3 hours?
