Write a direct variation equation to find the number of miles a jet travels in 3 hours if it is flying at a rate of 600 mph.(1 point)

Responses

600=3x
600 equals 3 x

3=600x
3 equals 600 x

y=600×3
y equals 600 times 3

y=6003 .

The correct direct variation equation to find the number of miles a jet travels in 3 hours at a rate of 600 mph is:

\( y = 600 \times 3 \)

This equation calculates the distance \( y \) based on the speed of the jet (600 mph) multiplied by the time (3 hours).
