Karrie is moving from Washington D.C. to Denver, CO. She has plotted her 1,670 mile trip on the following graph. (x-min = 0, x-max = 30, x-scale: 3; y-min = 0, y-max = 1800, y-scale = 200)
How far is Karrie’s destination after she has traveled 6 hours? Use the graph to estimate to the nearest hundred miles.
Enter only the numerical part of the answer, that is, if your answer is d miles, enter only value of d without the units (miles).

How do you start this problem off
How far is Karrie destination after 6 hours?
To find the distance after Karrie has traveled for 6 hours, we need to locate the point on the graph where the x-value is 6 and determine the corresponding y-value, which represents the distance in miles.
Given that the x-scale is 3, we divide 6 by the x-scale to determine the position on the graph. In this case, 6 divided by 3 is equal to 2.
Now, we need to find the corresponding y-value for x = 2 on the graph. We can look at the point where the line intersects the vertical line x = 2, and then read the y-value where it intersects the graph.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the line intersects the graph at approximately y = 600.
Since the y-scale is 200, we know that each increment on the y-axis represents 200 miles. Therefore, we multiply the y-value (600) by the y-scale (200) to determine the distance traveled.
600 multiplied by 200 is equal to 120,000.
Therefore, Karrie's destination after 6 hours of travel is approximately 120,000 miles away.
"Enter only the numerical part of the answer, that is, if your answer is d miles, enter only value of d without the units (miles)."
that tells me that you are only looking for the answer to what is clearly an on-line test or assignment.
This site does not work like that.
