During a test drive, a self-driving car travels a distance of 50 miles in 80 minutes. How many miles will the car travel after 240
A. 144
B. 112
C. 150
D. 50
To find the answer, we can set up a proportion:
50 miles / 80 minutes = x miles / 240 minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get:
80x = 50 * 240
80x = 12000
x = 150
Thus, the car will travel 150 miles after 240 minutes.
The answer is C. 150.
To find out how many miles the car will travel after 240 minutes, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.
Let's call the distance the car travels after 240 minutes "x" miles.
We know that the car traveled 50 miles in 80 minutes. So, the proportion can be set up as:
50 miles / 80 minutes = x miles / 240 minutes
To find x, we can cross multiply:
50 miles * 240 minutes = 80 minutes * x miles
12000 miles = 80x
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 80:
x = 12000 miles / 80
x = 150 miles
Therefore, the car will travel 150 miles after 240 minutes.
So the correct answer is C. 150.
To find out how many miles the car will travel after 240 minutes, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Since the car traveled 50 miles in 80 minutes, the ratio of miles to minutes can be written as:
50 miles / 80 minutes = x miles / 240 minutes
To solve for x, we need to cross multiply and then divide:
80x = 50 * 240
80x = 12000
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 80:
x = 12000 / 80
x = 150
Therefore, the car will travel 150 miles after 240 minutes.
The answer is C. 150.
