The distance traversed by a car traveling at a constant speed is directly proportional to the time spent traveling. If the car goes 90 kilometers in 9 hours, how far will it go in 5 hours? Do not use units in your answer.

We need to find the proportionality constant, k. So we have...

 

D = kT    where D is the distance and T is the time

 

90 = K9       divide both sides by 9

 

10 =  k

 

 

So...in 5 hours, we have

 

D = 10*5     = 50 (kilometers)

 

 

cool cool cool
