3=600x
3 equals 600 x

y=600×3
y equals 600 times 3

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

600=3x

Answer 1

To find the number of miles a jet travels in 3 hours at a rate of 600 mph, the correct direct variation equation would be:

\[ y = 600 \times 3 \]

This means that the number of miles (y) the jet travels is equal to its speed (600 mph) multiplied by the time (3 hours). So the answer is:

y = 600 × 3
