Question

Billy rides his bike 3 times a week for exercise. Complete the table below to find the number of miles Billy can travel in a certain number of hours.

Number of Hours Spent Biking 15 18 21 24 27
Total Distance Traveled (in miles) 150 180 ? 240 270

Answer 1

210 miles

Explanation:

The answer is 210 miles because the relationship between the number of hours spent biking and the total distance traveled is multiply the number of hours by 10 to get the total distance traveled. We can test the relationship to determine whether it is correct. 15 (the number of hours) times 10(the relationship) equals to 150(the total distance traveled). We can try the relationship several more times to see if it is correct. 18x10=180. 24x10=240. 27x10=270. So to find the unknown number we do 21(the number of hours) by 10(the relationship) to get 210(your answer/the total distance traveled).

Answer 2

210 miles

the distance goes up by 30 miles every time
