A whale swims 200 miles in 5 days. Identify which equation could be used to find how many miles it swims in 16 days.(1 point) Responses 200=16x 200 equals 16 x y=200×16 y equals 200 times 16 y=200×16×5 y equals 200 times 16 times 5 y=40×16
The correct equation to find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days is:
y = 200 × (16/5)
or
y = 40 × 16

Apologies for the previous incorrect response. The correct equation to find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days is:
y = (200/5) × 16
or
y = 40 × 16
Both of these equations represent the relationship between the number of days and the distance swum by the whale.
