A box jellyfish can travel at a rate of 6.5 feet per second.a.Make a table that shows the distance d the jellyfish can travel after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5seconds.b. Graph the ordered pairs from the table in a coordinate plane. How long does it take thejellyfish to travel 26 feet?C.Write and solve an equation to find the time it takes the jellyfish to travel 26 feet.

(a)The distance the jellyfish can travel can be written as


\begin{gathered} d=6.5t \\ \text{Here d is the distance and t is the time} \end{gathered}

(b) t(s) d(feet)

1 6.5 It takes 4 seconds for the jellyfish to travel 26 feet.

2 13

3 19.5

4 26

5 32.5 (c) 26=6.5t t=26/6.5=4s


\begin{gathered} \text{The ordered pairs (x,y) can be written as} \\ (1,\text{ 6.5)},\text{ (2,13),(3,19.5),(4,26),(5,32.5} \end{gathered}
