Moving Straight Ahead: Investigation 1 (HW)

 

The distance traveled by a tour van depends on time.  Suppose the van averaged a steady 60 miles per hour on the highway.  The table below shows the relationship between the time traveled and the distance.

 

Time (hours)

0.5

1.0

1.5

2.0

2.5

3.0

3.5

Distance (miles)

30

60

90

120

 

 

 

 

  1. Complete the table above.

 

  1. Make a coordinate graph of the data in the table.  (Time is on the x-axis and distance is on the y-axis).

 

x

y

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Write a rule that describes the relationship between distance and time.

 

 

 

  1. Predict the distance traveled in 8 hours.

 

 

 

  1. Predict the time needed to travel 300 miles.

 

 

 

  1. Pick a pair of (time, distance) values from the table.  How is the pair related to the graph and the rule?
