1) Let's find that out by setting a proportion.
4 5/6 hours
60 miles per hour
miles (distance) -----------------time elapsed
x 4 5/6 h
60 1
2) Let's turn that mixed number into an improper fraction to easily deal with it
[tex]4\frac{5}{6}=\frac{6\cdot4+5}{6}=\frac{29}{6}[/tex]Setting the proportion:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{60}=\frac{\frac{29}{6}}{1} \\ \frac{x}{60}=\frac{29}{6} \\ 6x\text{ = 29}\cdot60 \\ x=290 \end{gathered}[/tex]3) So Socorro traveled 290 miles
