Answer 1

To find the proportion that could be used to find the number of miles a horse-fly can travel in 5 minutes, we need to set up the ratio of miles to time.

Since the horse-fly can travel at a rate of 90 mph (miles per hour), we can set up the proportion:

90 miles / 1 hour = m miles / 5 minutes

The correct proportion would be:

C) 90 miles / 1 hour = m miles / 5 minutes
