A Plane travels 1760 miles in 4 hours. Determine the linear model that will predict the number of miles in a given interval of time?
---------
Step 1, find the speed of the plane in mi/hr
--
To find mi/hr, divide the miles by the hours. Is that not obvious?
---
Step 2,
d = r*t
distance = rate (speed) times hours
======================
PS Planes use knots, not mi/hr.
