Lightning travels much faster than thunder so lightning is seen before thunder is heard. using inductive reasoning and graph if you count 45 s between the lightning and thunder how far away is the storm?

Based on the information depicted by the graph, the distance of the storm 45 seconds between Lightning and Thunder will be 9 miles

From the graph, we can create a proportional relationship thus :

Distance from storm = Seconds between Thunder

4 miles = 20 seconds

Let the miles traveled by Storm between 45 seconds = s

Hence, we have ;

4 miles = 20 seconds

s miles = 45 seconds

Cross multiply :

20s = 45 × 4

20s = 180

Divide both sides by 20

s = 180 / 20

s = 9 miles

Therefore, the storm will be 9 miles away.

9 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

On your graph, use a ruler and your eye to get the best fitting line.  

Then find the time in seconds (45) which is between 40 and 50 on the x axis.

Go across to the y axis. You will find it is about 9 seconds.
