Asked by Linda h

please help I need to write a proportion!

A backpacker in the sierras hikes 5.5 miles in 2 hrs. If the hiking rate remains the same how far will the backpacker hike in 7 hrs?

60 miles = 60 minutes 1 hr
120 miles = 2hr
180 =3 hr

Answered by Ms. Sue
5.5/2 = x/7

2x = 38.5

x = 19.25
