Meena drove 245 miles in 5 hours. If she continued at the same rate, how long would it take to travel 196 miles?
To find the time it would take Meena to travel 196 miles at the same rate, we can use a proportion.
The proportion will be:
245 miles / 5 hours = 196 miles / x hours
First, we'll cross-multiply:
245 * x = 196 * 5
Simplifying, we get:
245x = 980
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 245 to solve for x:
x = 980 / 245 = 4
So, it would take Meena 4 hours to travel 196 miles at the same rate.
