Complete question :

When the monarch butterfly is migrating to the south, it has an average speed of 80 miles per day. Write an equation that shows the realtionship between the number of days (t) and the distance (in miles) it has traveled (d)

Answer:

d = 80t

Explanation:

Given :

Average speed = 80 miles per hour

Distance traveled (in miles) = d

Number of days = t

Equation which shows the Relationship between Number of days and distance traveled :

Recall :

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 80 ; distance = d ; time = t

80 = d/t

80 * t = d

d = 80t
