Respuesta :
The distance traveled by the Salmon is proportional to the duration spent
swimming.
A table of the distance traveled by the Atlantic Salmon is presented as follows;
[tex]\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c}\underline{Time in minutes}&\underline{Miles Traveled at 2/3 miles per minute } \\1&2/3 \\2&4/3\\3&2\\4&8/3\\5&10/3\\6&4\end{array}[/tex]
Reasons:
The given parameter are;
The steady rate at which Atlantic Salmon swims = 2 miles in 3 minutes
Distance the Salmon swims, d ∝ Time taken, t
Therefore;
d = s·t
Where;
s = The constant of proportionality = The speed
Which gives;
[tex]\displaystyle s = \mathbf{\frac{Distance, \, d}{Time, \, t}}[/tex]
The speed with which the Atlantic Salmon swims per minute is therefore;
[tex]\displaystyle The \ speed = \mathbf{\frac{2 \ miles}{3 \ minutes}} = \frac{2}{3} \ miles /minute[/tex]
The distance travelled, d, is given as follows;
[tex]\displaystyle d = \mathbf{\frac{2}{3} \times t}[/tex]
A table showing the distance travelled by the fish with time is presented as follows;
[tex]\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}\underline{Time, t, in minutes}&\underline{t \times d}&\underline{Miles Traveled, d, at 2/3 miles per minute } \\1&1 \times 2/3 = 2/3&2/3 \\2&2 \times 2/3 = 4/3&4/3\\3&3 \times 2/3 = 2&2\\4&4 \times 2/3 = 8/3&8/3\\5&5 \times 2/3 = 10/3&10/3\\6&6 \times 2/3 = 4&4\end{array}[/tex]
