Question

On a recent trip, Lamar's distance varied directly with the number of hours he drove. He traveled 288 miles in 6 hours. Which equation shows Lamar's distance, d, based on the number of hours, h, he drove?

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 48 h

Step-by-step explanation:

Lamar's distance traveled is directly proportional to the number of hours be drove.

So distance (d) ∝ hours (h)

Lamar traveled 288 miles in 6 hours

Since d ∝ h

then d = kh    [ where k is the proportionality constant ]

if     288 = k × 6

        k = $\frac{288}{6}$ = 48

Therefore, equation will be d = 48 h will be the equation

Answer 2

D = 48h. Plug the value in and it works.
