Write a direct variation equation to find the number of miles a jet travels in 3 hours if it is flying at a rate of 600mph.
a. y=600/3
b. 3=600x
c. 600=3x
d=
d = 600 * 3
c. 600 = 3x
The correct direct variation equation to find the number of miles a jet travels in 3 hours if it is flying at a rate of 600mph is:
y = kx
where y represents the number of miles traveled and x represents the number of hours. In this case, we are given that the jet is traveling at a rate of 600 mph, so we can substitute that value for the rate:
y = 600x
To find the distance traveled in 3 hours, we substitute 3 for x:
y = 600(3)
y = 1800
So, the correct equation is:
d. y = 1800
