3=600x
3 equals 600 x
y=600/3
y equals Start Fraction 600 over 3 End Fraction
y=600×3
y equals 600 times 3
600=3x
600 equals 3 times x
600 equals 3 times x
To find the direct variation equation, we can use the formula y = kx, where y represents the number of miles and x represents the number of hours. In this case, we are given that the jet is flying at a rate of 600 mph, so the rate of change (k) is 600.
The equation would be:
y = 600x
To find the number of miles the jet travels in 3 hours, we can substitute x = 3 into the equation:
y = 600(3)
y = 1800
Therefore, the jet will travel 1800 miles in 3 hours.
