Question

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

Answer 1

5.5/2 = x/7

2x = 38.5

x = 19.25

Answer 2

THANK YOU!!
A student can read 7 pages of a book in 10 minutes. How many pages of the book can the student read in 35 minutes?
7/10 =x/35???

Answer 3

Answer 5

Answer 6

I came up with
7/10= x/35
10x= 245
X=24.5 pages?? Could that be correct?

Yes. That is correct.
