Messiah Macdonald · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

(distance) = (rate) times (time)

d=r times t

d = distance in miles

r = rate in mi/hr.

t=time in hours

r = 600/8

r = 75t

Paulina Clark · Answer 2

y = 75x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the train travels 600 miles in 8 hours, 600/8 gives us the hourly rate. 600/8 = 75 mph

Therefore, y = 75x

Answer: y = 75x
