Question 1: Determine the proportion to use to find how many miles the train traveled in one hour.
To find out how many miles the train travels in one hour, you can set up the proportion as follows:
\[ \frac{300 \text{ miles}}{8 \text{ hours}} = \frac{x \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ hour}} \]
Here, \( x \) represents the number of miles traveled in one hour.
Question 2: How many miles does it travel in one hour?
To find \( x \):
Using the proportion:
\[ 300 = 8x \]
Divide both sides by 8:
\[ x = \frac{300}{8} = 37.5 \]
So, the train travels 37.5 miles in one hour.
