Nick is driving to a town 30 miles away. he is averaging about 45 miles per hour. if he makes no stops, how long will the trip take (in minutes)?

First, change the 45 miles per hour to x miles per minute, since the problem is asking for the answer in minutes.

45 miles per hour
= 45 miles per 60 minutes
= 3/4 mile per minute

Now, use a ratio to solve.
30 miles : x minutes = 3/4 mile : 1 minute
30=3/4x
x=40

Nick will take 40 minutes to get to the town.

Hope this helps!
