The line at the bullet roller coaster is moving about 4 feet for every 15 minutes. At this rate, how many hours would it take for a person to travel 24 feet? Set up a proportion and solve.

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

4/15 which is our fraction distance/time

our other fraction is 24/x (x is our variable to find our time)

Now we are doing the buultterfly method

set it up

now multiply 4*x= 4x

15*24=360

now divide 4x ÷ 4 to get our variable alone

do the same to the other side

4 ÷ 360= 90

so x= 90 which is our missing number
