1. jason and his family travel 160 miles in 3.2 hours.

if they continue at this constant speed, how long will it take them to travel 300 miles? complete the table.
it will take jason and his family □ hours to travel 300 miles.

time (hours)	1	3.2	□

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate constant speed

$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{160}{3.2} = 50$ miles/hour

Step2: Find distance in 1 hour

$\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 50 \times 1 = 50$ miles

Step3: Find time for 300 miles

$\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{300}{50} = 6$ hours

Answer:

Completed table values:

• Time = 1 hour: Distance = 50 miles
• Distance = 300 miles: Time = 6 hours

Final time to travel 300 miles: 6 hours
