The distance traveled at a constant speed is directly proportional to the time of travel. If olivia traveled 306 miles in 8.5 hours how man miles will olivia travel in 9.1 hours at the same constant speed

1 answer

To find the number of miles Olivia will travel in 9.1 hours at the same constant speed, we can set up a proportion:

306 miles / 8.5 hours = x miles / 9.1 hours

Cross multiplying, we get:

8.5 hours * x miles = 306 miles * 9.1 hours

Multiplying, we get:

8.5x = 2784.6

Dividing both sides by 8.5, we get:

x = 327

Therefore, Olivia will travel 327 miles in 9.1 hours at the same constant speed.
