Problem

Meghann uses cruise control to drive at a constant speed. She travels the first 183 miles in 3 hours. At that rate, how long will it take Meghann to drive a total of 366 miles?

Solution

Step 1 :\(\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\)

Step 2 :\(\text{Rate} = \frac{183 \text{ miles}}{3 \text{ hours}}\ =\ 61 \frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\)

Step 3 :\(\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Rate}} = \frac{366 \text{ miles}}{61 \frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}} = 6 \text{ hours}\)
