Question

if the relationship between distance y in feet and time x in seconds is proportional, which rate is represented by y/x=0.6​

Answer 1

3 feet in 5s

Explanation:

Consider the complete question is,

'If the relationship between distance y in feet and time x in seconds is proportional, which rate is represented by y/x=0.6?

a. 3 feet in 5s

b. 3 feet in 9s

c. 10 feet in 6s

d. 18 feet in 3s'

If y = 3 ft, x = 5 sec

`(y)/(x)=(3)/(5)=0.6`

If y = 3 ft, x = 9 sec

`(y)/(x)=(3)/(9)=0.33...`

If y = 10 ft, x = 6 sec

`(y)/(x)=(10)/(6)=1.66666...`

If y = 18 ft, x = 3 sec

`(y)/(x)=(18)/(3)=6`

Hence, the required rate would be 3 feet in 5s
