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 600 mph.
options:
3=600x
600=3x
y=600×3
y=600 over 3
The correct option is: y = 600x.
In a direct variation equation, y represents the dependent variable (number of miles), and x represents the independent variable (number of hours). The equation states that y varies directly with x, and the constant of variation is 600.
thats not an option sorry
Apologies for the confusion. Given the options you provided, 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 600 mph is:
600 = 3x
In this equation, x represents the number of hours and 600 represents the rate at which the jet is flying (600 mph). By solving this equation, you can find the value of x, which in this case will give you the number of miles the jet travels in 3 hours.
