Question

Responses

y=600×3
y equals 600 times 3

y=600/3
y equals Start Fraction 600 over 3 End Fraction

3=600x
3 equals 600 x

600=3x

Answer 1

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

\( y = 600 \times 3 \)

This equation expresses that the distance (y) is equal to the speed (600 mph) multiplied by the time (3 hours).
