Answer: 0.6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We will set up a proportion to help us solve.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1,500\; \;miles}{4.5\;\;hours} =\frac{200\;\;miles}{x\;\;hours}[/tex]
Next, we will cross-multiply and solve by multiplying and using inverse operations.
1,500 * x = 200 * 4.5
1,500x = 900
x = 0.6 hours
