Question

Suppose a train travels 7 miles in 28 minutes. The proportional relationship between miles traveled, x, and minutes traveled, y

by the train can represented by the equation y = 4x.
How far will the train travel in 64 minutes?
16 miles
B)
17 miles
18 miles
19 miles

Answer 1

The answer to the question would be 16 miles.
y = 4x —> then plug in the value for y
64 = 4x —> divide by 4 to get x by itself
16 = x

Answer 2

16 miles

Explanation:

x=7

y=28

1/4 is your rate

1/4*64 = 64/4 = 16
