Answer:

160 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

220 miles         x miles

--------------- = ----------------------

5.5 hours          4 hours

Using cross products

220 *4 = 5.5x

880 = 5.5x

Divide each side by 5.5

880/5.5 = x

160 miles

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\mathrm{C. \ 160 \ miles}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by ratios.

Let x be the missing value.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{220}{5.5} =\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Cross multiply.

[tex]5.5 \times x = 220 \times 4[/tex]

[tex]5.5x=880[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5.5.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5.5x}{5.5} =\frac{880}{5.5}[/tex]

[tex]x=160[/tex]
