Question

1. a hot - air balloon flew at 10 miles per hour. using the variable h, write and solve a multiplication equation to find how many hours the balloon traveled if it covered a distance of 70 miles

Explanation:

Step1: Relate speed, time, distance

We know that $\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}$. Here, speed is 10 mph, time is $h$ hours, distance is 70 miles. So the equation is:
$10h = 70$

Step2: Solve for $h$

Divide both sides by 10 to isolate $h$:
$\frac{10h}{10} = \frac{70}{10}$

Answer:

$h = 7$
The balloon traveled 7 hours.
