A cheetah runs 200 miles in 4 days. Identify which equation could be used to find how many miles it runs in 7 days. * 1 point y = 200 * 7 200 = 7x y = 200 * 4 * 7 y = 200/4 * 7

1 answer

To find out how many miles the cheetah runs in 7 days, we first need to determine its daily running distance.

The cheetah runs 200 miles in 4 days, so its daily distance can be calculated as follows:

Daily distance = Total miles / Number of days = 200 miles / 4 days = 50 miles per day.

Now, to find out how many miles it would run in 7 days, we can use the equation:

Total miles in 7 days = Daily distance * Number of days = 50 miles/day * 7 days = 350 miles.

Looking at your options, the equation that corresponds to this process is:

y = (200 / 4) * 7

This simplifies to y = 50 * 7, which gives the total miles in 7 days (350 miles).

So the correct answer is: y = 200/4 * 7
