Azlyn can ride her horse 15.2 miles per hour. She is in an endurance race that is 76 miles long! How long should this race take her to complete?

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, math is a language

when you see per think fractions

15.2 miles per hour = 15.2 miles / 1 hour

since this is a fraction, Units can cancel just like numbers

To cancel miles and be left with hours rearrange the fraction

1 hour / 15.2 miles

then multiply by 72 miles

the miles cancel and youre left with hours!

so youd write and solve 72 / 15.2

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
