If a fire engine is traveling down the interstate driving 55 mph and reaches the reported vehicle fire 13 minutes, approximately how far did the engine travel? use the following formula: rate x time = distance

11.91 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate * time = distance.

Distance = 55 * (13/60), since rate is in mph, time should be converted to hours.

Distance = 11.91 miles.

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
