Answer 1

To determine the proportion to use to find the miles traveled in one hour, you can set up a ratio based on the total distance and total time.

Question 1:

The proportion can be set up as follows:

• Distance traveled = 300 miles
• Time taken = 8 hours

So, the proportion to find miles traveled in one hour can be expressed as: \[ \frac{300 \text{ miles}}{8 \text{ hours}} = \frac{x \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ hour}} \]

Where \(x\) represents the miles traveled in one hour.

Question 2:

To find how many miles the A train travels in one hour, you can simply divide the total distance by the total time:

\[ \text{Miles per hour} = \frac{300 \text{ miles}}{8 \text{ hours}} = 37.5 \text{ miles per hour} \]

Thus, the answers are:

• Question 1: \(\frac{300}{8} = \frac{x}{1}\)
• Question 2: 37.5 miles per hour.
