So 120/2 and x/4 p.s it can also be written 120/x = 2/4 depending on which way you like to solve proportions.
Cross multiply 4· 120= 480 and 2·X= 2x
Divide 480 by 2 and x= 240

naǫ

120 miles - 2 hours
x miles - 4 hours
cross multiply:
\(2x=4 \times 120 \\ 2x=480 \\ x=\frac{480}{2} \\ x=240\)

It will travel 240 miles.
