Pete drove 224 miles in 4 hours on saturday. If he drives at the same rate on Sunday, how long would it take him to drive 490 miles?

8.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

What I do is form it into ratio form

224 : 4

490 : n

n is the hour we're trying to find

Since 490 isn't one of the multiples of 224, you divide 224 by itself, giving you 1

You then multiply 490 by 1 to get it

You divide and add again but with the hour (4)

4/224 = 0.0178 ... x 490 = 8.75 hours

There's how to get your answer

219.0496 m / s

Step-by-step explanation:

224 x 2 is 448 we still need 42 to get to 490 so, 224 divided by 4 is 56 since this is two much we can divide 56 by 2 to get 28. 28 plus 448 is 476 we need 14 more so 56 divided by 4 is 14 so 14 plus 476 is 490 finally we divide and get 219.0496 m / s
