use rate x time = distance
4x=196
x=49 mp/h
49x=1078
x=22
it will take 22 hours to drive 1078 miles

Set up this proportion:
196/4 = 1078/x
196x=(1078*4)=4312
x=22
22 Hours.

4 x 1078 / 196 = 22 hours

It would be wrong for me to give you the answer so i'll tell u the steps. #1 divide 196 by 4, #2 divide 1078 by whatever u got and thats the answer.

very easy!
1. divide 196/4 so you have the speed (miles/hr) which is 49
2. then divide 1078 by speed (49 miles/hr) which is 22 hours
