Answer:
[tex]81\frac{2}{3}[/tex] hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
1) Create a proportion
- The van traveled 120 miles in 7 hours
- The van travels 1400 miles in x hours
[tex]\frac{7h}{120mi}=\frac{x}{1400 mi}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7}{120}=\frac{x}{1400}[/tex]
2) Solve for x
[tex]\frac{7}{120}=\frac{x}{1400}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 1400
[tex]\frac{7}{120}*1400=\frac{x}{1400}*1400[/tex]
[tex]\frac{245}{3} =x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{245}{3} =x[/tex]
[tex]81\frac{2}{3} =x[/tex]
Therefore, it would take the van [tex]81\frac{2}{3}[/tex] hours to travel 1400 miles at the same speed.
I hope this helps!
