A train covers 165 km in 1.5 hours. Do these quantities (distance and rime) vary directly or inversely?

Answer:

Directly

Explanation:

Let's look at this closely

165 km = 1.5 hours.

That is what is given to us by the problem,

now let's assume that the problem is asking how many km it will get in 2 hours if the train spends 2 hours. It must mean that the train is gonna get more distance than 165 km because it has more time.

So to sum it all up

If the hours go up, that means the distance will be farther.

Directly is when if one quantity goes up, the other quantity goes up, but the inverse is when if one quantity goes up, then the other quantity goes down.

In this case, the hours go up, and the distance is farther which means it's going up.

To conclude, your answer is direct,

Simple and easy! if you need a better explanation, feel free to contact me!

(The other person who answered didn't give an explanation, so I decided to do so!)
