Question

Which equation represents the proportional relationship between the distance traveled, y , and the time, x, in hours, of a tractor, if it can travel at a rate of 48 miles every 2.5 hours?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The unit rate (speed) of the tractor is

48 mi

------------- = 19.2 mi/hr

2.5 hrs

The distance is found by multiplying the rate by elapsed time:

distance = y = (19.2 mi/hr)x, where x is the number of hours elapsed.

Answer 2

I think y is 19.2 and x is 7.68
