Calculate time in hours taken by a truck to travel $1 m i l e$
The time in hours taken by a truck to travel $1 m i l e = \frac{3}{144}$
The time in hours taken by a truck to travel $1 m i l e = 0.0208$
No calculate for $1200 m i l e s$ :
The time in hours taken by a truck to travel $1, 200 m i l e = 0.0208 \times 1, 200$
The time in hours taken by a truck to travel $1 m i l e = 25$
Or
We can also calculate in the following way:
The time in hours taken by a truck to travel $1200 m i l e s$
$= \frac{3}{144} \cdot 1200$
$= \frac{1}{48} \cdot 1200$
$= 25$
Therefore time in hours taken by a truck to travel $1, 200 m i l e s$ is $25$
