The number of miles driven varies directly with the number of hours in the car. Billy drives 171 miles in 3 hours, so he could d
2 answers:
Remember that direct variation means that you have a relationship of the form
In this case it's a special equation, namely distance=rate*time. So first we have to find the rate given the information in the problem:
Now we know that the rate is constant since Billy's distance varies directly with time. The next step is to find distance given a different amount time:
You can finish that one off!
