To find out how many pages Brian can read in 3.5 hours, we need to set up a proportion.

The ratio of pages read to hours is constant, since Brian can read the same number of pages per hour.

So we can set up the proportion:

80 pages / 2 hours = x pages / 3.5 hours

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

2 hours * x pages = 80 pages * 3.5 hours

2x = 280

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 140

Therefore, Brian can read 140 pages in 3.5 hours.

So the answer is 140 pages.

To find out how far the surface of the earth has moved in 150 seconds, we can set up a proportion.

The ratio of distance moved to time is constant, since the surface of the earth moves at a constant speed.

So we can set up the proportion:

4,600 meters / 10 seconds = x meters / 150 seconds

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

10 seconds * x meters = 4,600 meters * 150 seconds

10x = 690,000

Dividing both sides by 10:

x = 69,000

Therefore, the surface of the earth has moved 69,000 meters in 150 seconds.

So the correct answer is 69,000 meters.

To find out how far Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we need to set up a proportion.

The ratio of distance ran to time is constant, since Grace runs at a constant speed.

So we can set up the proportion:

26 miles / 4 hours = x miles / 1.5 hours

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

4 hours * x miles = 26 miles * 1.5 hours

4x = 39

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 9.75

Therefore, Grace ran 9.75 miles in 1.5 hours.

So the correct answer is 9.75 miles.
In 5 hours the Acela Express, the fastest train in North America, traveled 775 miles. How far did it travel in 8 hours?(1 point)

To find out how far the Acela Express traveled in 8 hours, we can set up a proportion.

The ratio of distance traveled to time is constant, since the train travels at a constant speed.

So we can set up the proportion:

775 miles / 5 hours = x miles / 8 hours

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

5 hours * x miles = 775 miles * 8 hours

5x = 6200

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = 1240

Therefore, the Acela Express traveled 1240 miles in 8 hours.

So the correct answer is 1240 miles.
