math help the number of kilometers tony travels in a canoe d varies directly with the amount of time spent in the canoe for 2.25 hours, he travels 9 kilometers which equation shows direct linear variation

@Hero

Hero:

It says "which equation" so where are the equations?

Do you have any idea how to approach this problem?

ZoeyBiocth16:

sorta

Hero:

Okay, what have you figured out so far?

ZoeyBiocth16:

i figured out that 9 km can be t

Hero:

Why would 9 km represent t when t represents time. Kilometers represent distance.

ZoeyBiocth16:

kms not good at math

Hero:

Well, do they give us anything that represents time?

ZoeyBiocth16:

yea 2.25 represents the hours he spent canoeing

Hero:

So Tony spent 2.25 hours canoeing and travelled 9 kilometers d represents the distance travelled in kilometers and each equation has d in it so we can put 9 in place of d.

Hero:

And since 2.25 represents time, we can put that in place of $t$. one of those equations will have both sides agreeing. That one would be your correct answer.
