The distance an ant can travel on the ground varies directly with the amount of time it spends traveling. If an ant travels 7.5 m in 1.5 min, how far will the ant travel in 4 min?
-------
d = k*t
----
Solve for "k" based on "an ant travels 7.5 m in 1.5 min"::
7.5 = k*1.5
k = 5
-----
Equation:
d = 5t
how far will the ant travel in 4 min?
d = 5*4 = 20 minutes
