A whale swims 200 miles in 5 days. Identify which equation could be used to find how many miles it swims in 16 days.(1 point)
Responses

y=200×16
y equals 200 times 16

y=200×16×5
y equals 200 times 16 times 5

y=40×16
y equals 40 times 16

200=16x
200 equals 16 x

Answer 1

The correct equation that could be used to find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days is: y=40×16. This equation represents the constant rate of 40 miles per day multiplied by the number of days (16).
