Question

The fastest fish in the world is the sailfish. If a

sailfish could maintain its speed, as shown in the
table, how many miles could the sailfish travel in 6
hours?
p.s the top is hour traveled and the bottom is miles traveled
​

Answer 1

(C) 408 miles

Explanation:

Looking at this table, we can see that the beginning point is (0,0) so this is a linear slope, meaning we won’t have to add anything.

This means that for every time we rise in x, y will rise by the same amount.

When x is 1, y is 68 - so the constant of proportionality here is 68.

So, to find how much 6 hours would be we just multiply.

`6\cdot68=408`

Hope this helped!
