Answer:
170
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to set up a proportion and cross multiply.
[tex] \frac{408 \: miles}{6 \: hours} = \frac{x \: miles}{2.5 \: hours} [/tex]
that would cross multiply to
[tex]408 \: miles \: \times 2.5 \: hours \: = 6 \: hours \: \times x \: miles[/tex]
which would simplify to
[tex]1020 = 6x[/tex]
then, you isolate x by dividing 6 from both sides to get the final answer of
[tex]170 \: miles = x[/tex]
