Question

the table shows how the distance traveled by a cargo ship over time

Answer 1

In this table above, we can see that (EACH) number that is on the the side that reads "distance traveled" would be adding up by 36.

As we divide 72, we would get 36, which this would then signify that all we would do to the missing number would be that we would just adding 36 and the number before the "question mark".

$\boxed{108+36=144}$

Your correct answer would be 144.

Answer 2

The correct option is Option C: The value missing from the table is 144.

What is linear equation?

Linear equation is the equation whose highest degree of the variable used in the equation is 1.

for example: y=3x+4

Here for understanding the relation between the time and distance traveled

let the equation is y=mx+c

by putting x1=2 and y1=36

36=2m+c ----equation 1

then putting x2=4 and y2=72

72=4m+c ------equation 2

(equation 1)*2-equation 2: 72-72=2(2m+c)-(4m+c)

⇒0=4m+2c-4m-c

⇒c=0

equation 1 will be 36=2m

⇒m=36/2=18

Then the linear equation is y=18x

this is the relation between the the time and distance traveled.

we have to calculate the distance traveled at the time 8 hours.

putting x=8

the distance traveled will be y=18*8=144

Therefore The value missing from the table is 144.
