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.
