Question

A box jellyfish can travel at a rate of 6.5 feet per second.a.Make a table that shows the distance d the jellyfish can travel after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5seconds.b. Graph the ordered pairs from the table in a coordinate plane. How long does it take thejellyfish to travel 26 feet?C.Write and solve an equation to find the time it takes the jellyfish to travel 26 feet.

Answer 1

(a)The distance the jellyfish can travel can be written as

$\begin{gathered} d=6.5t \\ \text{Here d is the distance and t is the time} \end{gathered}$

(b) t(s) d(feet)

1 6.5 It takes 4 seconds for the jellyfish to travel 26 feet.

2 13

3 19.5

4 26

5 32.5 (c) 26=6.5t t=26/6.5=4s

$\begin{gathered} \text{The ordered pairs (x,y) can be written as} \\ (1,\text{ 6.5)},\text{ (2,13),(3,19.5),(4,26),(5,32.5} \end{gathered}$
