Question

Water flows down the Mississippi river at about 1.2 miles per hour. The relationship between hours and miles the water has traveled is... Discrete or continuous

Answer 1

Continuous

Explanation:

Given

`Rate = 1.2\ miles/hour`

Required

Determine if this relationship is discrete or continuous

Numbers in their whole form (i.e. 1,2,3.....) represent discrete values while others with decimals (such as 0.2,0.9, 1.2...) represent continuous values

From the above analysis, we can see that 1.2 fall in the category of continuous values.

Hence, the relationship between both parameters is continuous
