This holiday weekend, Sandeep is going to Chicago to shop and see a baseball game. To avoid traffic, Sandeep decides to take the train. There is a proportional relationship between the time (in minutes) Sandeep spends riding the train, x, and the distance he travels (in miles), y.
The equation that models this relationship is y=1.5x.
How far does Sandeep travel in 10 minutes on the train? Write your answer as a whole number or decimal.
To find out how far Sandeep travels in 10 minutes on the train, we can substitute x = 10 into the equation y = 1.5x.
y = 1.5(10)
y = 15
Therefore, Sandeep travels 15 miles in 10 minutes on the train.
