The graph below shows the relationship between time and distance traveled by a race car moving at a constant rate and at its maximum speed. How long did it take the race car to travel 480 miles?

Time (hours)

It takes 2.4 hours to travel 480 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph race car is moving at 100 miles in 0.5 hours. So, in 1 hour, car could travel 2*100 =200 miles per hour.

So, we can set up equation as

y= 200x.

Plug in y as 480 then solve for x.

480 =200x

Divide both sides by 200

2.4=x

So, it would take 2.4 hours.

4x and 6y

im not sure though

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !
