A plane flew 720 miles in 6 hours. How many miles did the plane fly in 4 hours?

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a ratio here to find the constant of proportionality and use that to find how many miles the plane flew in 4 hours.

We know the plane flew 720 miles in 6 hours. We can create a ratio, represented as a fraction, in the form   .

We can now make another ratio where we use a variable for the miles flown in 4 hours.

Since the ratios are equal, we can create an equation.

To find the value of x, let's cross multiply.

So the plane flew 480 miles in 4 hours.

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

6 (donuts) divided by 3 is 2.

so 2/3 means 2 times 2, which is 4/6.
