An airplane flies directly from Saskatoon, SK, to Vancouver, BC. The graph shows the relationship between the distance from Vancouver, d , in kilometres, and the flying time, t, in hours

1.For hour many hours has the plane been flying when it is 200 km from Vancouver?

2.What is the distance from Vancouver when the plane has been flying for 45 min?

Unfortunately, I cannot see the graph you are referring to. However, I can help guide you on how to read the graph to find the answers you need.

1. To find the flying time when the plane is 200 km from Vancouver, locate 200 km on the distance (d) axis, and trace it to the line on the graph representing the relationship between distance and time. Once you find the point where the line meets the 200 km mark, trace down to the time (t) axis to see the corresponding time.

2. To find the distance from Vancouver when the plane has been flying for 45 minutes, first convert 45 minutes to hours (since the time is in hours). Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 45 minutes is equal to 45/60 or 0.75 hours. Now, locate 0.75 hours on the time (t) axis, and trace it to the line on the graph representing the relationship between distance and time. Once you find the point where the line meets the 0.75-hour mark, trace across to the distance (d) axis to see the corresponding distance.
