Ross drives 396 miles in 6 hours. If Ross continues to drive at the same rate, how many miles can he drive in 12 hours?(2 points) Responses 330 330 1,584 1,584 768 768 792
To find out how many miles Ross can drive in 12 hours, you can set up a proportion using the information given:
Miles driven / Time taken = Miles driven / Time taken
Let's call the number of miles Ross can drive in 12 hours "x":
396 miles / 6 hours = x miles / 12 hours
Cross-multiplying gives:
6x = 396 * 12
Simplifying:
6x = 4752
Dividing both sides by 6:
x = 4752 / 6 = 792
Therefore, Ross can drive 792 miles in 12 hours.
